Old goat who’s taken your clothes? (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

satyr

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'old goat' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'taken your clothes?' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'your' could be 'yr' and 'yr' is found within the answer.
The remaining letters 'sat' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

'who's' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for satyr that I've seen before include "Goatish deity" , "Mythological woodland deity" , "Lustful woodland god -- stray (anag)" , "Goatlike deity of Greek myth" , "Greek sylvan deity" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
