Crossword Genius

Daughter, insatiable, celebrated nude (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

david

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'celebrated nude' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

'daughter insatiable' is the wordplay.
'daughter' becomes 'd' (genealogical abbreviation).
'insatiable' becomes 'avid' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'd'+'avid'='DAVID'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for david that I've seen before include "Boy's name" , "Hebrew king" , "Israeli king" , "The Psalmist" , "Dickens hero" .)
