Nude sends rude shot (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

undressed

'nude' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'sends rude shot' is the wordplay.
'shot' is an anagram indicator.
'sends'+'rude'='sendsrude'
'sendsrude' with letters rearranged gives 'UNDRESSED'.

(Other definitions for undressed that I've seen before include "Removed clothing" , "Stripped" , "not yet in line?" , "Took the clothes off" , "Disrobed" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
