Crossword Genius

Exposed, corrupt Dane importing kilo ... (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

naked

'exposed' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'corrupt dane importing kilo' is the wordplay.
'corrupt' indicates anagramming the letters.
'importing' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'kilo' becomes 'k' (phonetic alphabet: alpha, bravo, charlie etc.).
'dane' anagrammed gives 'naed'.
'naed' going around 'k' is 'NAKED'.

(Other definitions for naked that I've seen before include "Without protection" , "Au naturel" , "Nude" , "Bare" , "being exposed" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
