Can nude dancing be subtle? (7)
I believe the answer is:
nuanced
'subtle?' is the definition.
(nuanced means subtle or complex)
'can nude dancing' is the wordplay.
'dancing' is an anagram indicator.
'can'+'nude'='cannude'
'cannude' with letters rearranged gives 'NUANCED'.
'be' is the link.
(Other definitions for nuanced that I've seen before include "With subtly different shade of meaning" , "Characterised by subtle shades of meaning" , "Subtly varied" , "Subtly differentiated" , "with distinction" .)
