Protection from undesirable exposure (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

lee

'protection' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'from undesirable exposure' is the wordplay.
'from' indicates a hidden word.
'LEE' is hidden within 'undesirable exposure'.

(Other definitions for lee that I've seen before include "The sheltered side of something" , "Confederate general" , "Area sheltered from the wind" , "Sheltered from the wind in Cork, perhaps" , "Shelter" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
