Adult entertainer — one getting rid of the gloss? (8)
I believe the answer is:
stripper
I believe this is a double definition.
'adult entertainer' is the first definition.
(someone who strips their clothing)
'one getting rid of the gloss?' is the second definition.
(device removing gloss from a surface)
(Other definitions for stripper that I've seen before include "Waterproof boot" , "Erotic dancer" , "performer barely seen" , "One removing clothes" , "Teasing dancer" .)
