Bare bones (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

skeleton

'bare bones' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for skeleton that I've seen before include "Hidden scandal (in a cupboard?)" , "gaunt person" , "Bodily framework" , "With the team depleted" , "Internal framework" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian, the L.A. Times Daily, The Wall Street Journal and The Times.
