To cut off, to shear, or to remove by cutting, especially in the sense of dividing or apportioning material objects, such as hair or wool, or resources.

Etymology
Root: גזה. The root is related to the act of cutting or shearing. The verb גָּזָה is likely derived from the basic sense 'to cut' or 'to shear,' and is akin to גּוּז (to shear, to cut off), sharing the idea of separating something from a larger whole by means of physical cutting.
