POLLEX (thumb) = POLL (cut of) + EX (old)
Pollex. Poll....cut with ex (old )
So clue was CUT OF rather than CUT OFF?
^as per JJ109's parsing which looks good if clue says 'of'. I've learnt another new word today- pollex
FF. to poll is to cut off.
When a tree is pollarded the branches are cut off.
sorry my typing is poor - to cut off = poll (as in polled cattle with their horns cut off)
