Article about visitor dumping old stripper (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

naturist

'stripper' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'article about visitor dumping old' is the wordplay.
'article' becomes 'an' (indefinite article).
'about' is a reversal indicator.
'visitor' becomes 'tourist' (eg someone visiting another country).
'dumping' is a deletion indicator.
'old' becomes 'o' (common abbreviation eg in OE for Old English).
'an' reversed gives 'na'.
'tourist' with 'o' taken out is 'turist'.
'na'+'turist'='NATURIST'

(Other definitions for naturist that I've seen before include "Truant is apt to be a nudist" , "Man with no outer clothing" , "One practising nudism for reasons of health or religion" , "Person who practices nudity" , "One exposed" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
