A Parisian set to empty home shed (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

unclothe

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

'a parisian set to empty home' is the wordplay.
'a parisian' becomes 'un' ('a' in French).
'set' becomes 'clot' (I've seen this in another clue).
'to empty' says to hollow out the word (remove centre letters).
'home' with its middle removed is 'he'.
'un'+'clot'+'he'='UNCLOTHE'

(Other definitions for unclothe that I've seen before include "Strip (someone)" , "shed" , "set garments aside" , "Reveal" , "lay bare" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
