I believe the answer is:

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">skinned</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">('peel' can be a synonym of 'skin')</span><br/ ><br/ >This is all the clue.<br/ ></span>
(Other definitions for peeled that I've seen before include "Of fruit, skinned" , "Stripped the skin off" , "Removed skin as from potato" , "Stripped the rind" , "Took the skin off" .)
