Scottish family forgets name for daughter getting dressed (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

clad

'dressed' is the definition.
('clothe' can be a synonym of 'dress')

'scottish family forgets name for daughter' is the wordplay.
'scottish family' becomes 'clan' (I've seen this before).
'forgets' indicates named letters should be taken away.
'name for' becomes 'n' (I've seen this in other clues).
'daughter' becomes 'd'.
'clan' with 'n' removed is 'cla'.
'cla'+'d'='CLAD'

'getting' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for clad that I've seen before include "Wearing" , "Cover with insulation" , "in dress perhaps" , "Attired" , "Clothed, covered" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
