a break or opening in the skin or flesh, often caused by a sharp object or injury

What is a "cut"?

A cut is a break or opening in the skin caused by something sharp, like a knife or glass. Cuts can vary in depth and seriousness, from small superficial ones that only affect the surface to deeper ones that may penetrate layers of tissue. They often result in bleeding, pain, and sometimes swelling around the affected area. Treatment for cuts involves cleaning the wound with soap and water to prevent infection, applying pressure to stop bleeding, and covering it with a clean bandage. In some cases, medical attention may be necessary, especially for deep cuts that may require stitches to close properly.

the way a garment is cut, giving it a particular style

What is "cut"?

Cut refers to the way in which a garment is shaped and constructed, which ultimately gives it a particular style or silhouette. The cut of a garment can have a significant impact on how it fits and flatters the wearer's body, as well as on its overall aesthetic appeal. For example, a garment may be cut to be form-fitting or loose and flowing, with various degrees of draping, pleating, or tailoring. The cut can also determine the length and shape of sleeves, collars, hemlines, and other details. A skilled cutter can use their expertise to create garments that highlight the best features of a particular fabric, flatter the wearer's body shape, and convey a certain style or mood.
