Female star with nothing to hide (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

moira

'female' is the definition.
(woman's name)

'star with nothing to hide' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'nothing' could be 'o' (O resembles 0) and 'o' is found within the answer.
'star' could be 'mira' (star in the constellation Cetus) and 'mira' is found in the remaining letters.
This accounts for all the letters.
This may be the basis of clue (or it may be nonsense).

(Other definitions for moira that I've seen before include "- - Shearer, actress-ballerina" , "Any of the three Greek Fates" , "Shearer, possibly" , "Girl" , "-- Shearer, ballet dancer" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
