One who may be barely visible (6)

I believe the answer is:

nudist

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

This clue could be a double definition.

'one who may be barely' is the first definition.
The answer is a person as well as being a singular noun. This is suggested by the definition. I also know that 'barely' relates to this answer.

'visible' is the second definition.
Although both the answer and definition are adjectives, I don't see how they can define each other.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for nudist that I've seen before include "Person who discards clothes out of conviction" , "one economising on clothes" , "Person committed to going unclothed" , "I want to be 12 [NAKED]" , "S/he prefers to be naked" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
