Bare and/or nude, somehow (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

unadorned

'bare' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'andor nude somehow' is the wordplay.
'somehow' is an anagram indicator.
'andor'+'nude'='andornude'
'andornude' anagrammed gives 'UNADORNED'.

(Other definitions for unadorned that I've seen before include "Simple and plain as around den" , "Without embellishment" , "Plain, undecorated" , "Not decorated, plain and simple" .)
