A desire to expose acts from music stand (6)
I believe the answer is:
nudism
'stand' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both acts as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe you can see an association between them that I don't see?
I don't understand how the remainder of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for nudism that I've seen before include "Practice of living as nature intended" , "Going without clothes, socially" , "The practice of wearing no clothes" , "Practice of going without clothes" , "Naturism" .)
