Defleeced (5)
I believe the answer is:
shorn
'defleeced' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for shorn that I've seen before include "De-fleeced" , "Clipped, fleeced" , "(Of sheep) with wool cut" , "'The Lord tempers the wind to the ..... lamb'" , "unlocked" .)
