Anonymous salesmen taken out (8)
I believe the answer is:
nameless
'anonymous' is the definition.
(similar in meaning)
I cannot understand how the remainder of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for nameless that I've seen before include "This undistinguished" , "not easily identified?" , "Untitled" , "Too unpleasant" , "Unidentified" .)
