crop
Snip the edges
The handful of noun meanings of crop is dominated by its use to designate a cultivated plant raised for food or profit.
But a crop is also an enlarged area in a bird’s gut for holding food; a short whip used in horse riding; and a collection of things: A crop of new comedies.
As a verb, to crop most often means to trim or cut something back.
