An unkempt person, namely Trump (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

scruff

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'an unkempt person' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both body parts as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps there's a link between them I don't understand?

'namely trump' is the wordplay.
'namely' becomes 'sc' (abbrev for Latin scilicet meaning 'namely').
'trump' becomes 'ruff' (synonyms).
'sc'+'ruff'='SCRUFF'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for scruff that I've seen before include "Untidy chap" , "Untidy person - nape of neck" , "One probably wouldn't wash" , "Nape; untidy type" , "Untidy person (slang); nape" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
