The raw wound, uncovered on head (9)
I believe the answer is:
nakedness
'the raw' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'uncovered on head' is the wordplay.
'uncovered' becomes 'naked' (I've seen this before).
'on' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other) (in a down clue, letters appear on others).
'head' becomes 'ness' (ness is a headland).
'naked'+'ness'='NAKEDNESS'
'wound' acts as a link.
This may not be right. It may belong to another bit of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for nakedness that I've seen before include "Having nothing on" , "Nudity" , "being exposed?" .)
