After date, actress Sophia undressed to make love (5)
I believe the answer is:
adore
'love' is the definition.
(adoring is a kind of loving)
'after date actress sophia undressed' is the wordplay.
'after' says to put letters next to each other.
'date' becomes 'AD' (AD is an example).
'actress sophia' becomes 'loren' (I've seen this in another clue).
'undressed' indicates the central letters (the word removes the letters which clothe it).
The centre of 'loren' is 'ore'.
'ad' next to 'ore' is 'ADORE'.
'to make' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for adore that I've seen before include "Honour" , "Worship, idolise" , "Very much like" , "Love, worship" , "Worship, venerate" .)
