truncate
Lop the end
Truncate means to shorten by cutting off a part, typically the end.
You truncate a list by removing items, truncate text by cutting it short, or truncate a number by dropping decimal places without rounding: The filename was truncated to fit the character limit.
The word implies abrupt removal rather than gradual reduction.
In geometry, a truncated shape has corners or points sliced off, creating flat surfaces where vertices once were.
