Bald guy's welcomed in French by daughter (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

denuded

'bald' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'guy's welcomed in french by daughter' is the wordplay.
'guy' becomes 'dude' ().
'welcomed' is an insertion indicator (in sense of 'invited in').
'in french' becomes 'en' ('in' in French).
'by' says to put letters next to each other.
'daughter' becomes 'd'.
'dude' going around 'en' is 'denude'.
'denude'+'d'='DENUDED'

(Other definitions for denuded that I've seen before include "Stripped" , "Laid bare" .)
