Goes for semi-nude roles (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

departs

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

'goes' is the definition.
('depart' can be a synonym of 'go')

'semi-nude roles' is the wordplay.
'semi nude' becomes 'de' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'roles' becomes 'parts' ('part' can be a synonym of 'role').
'de'+'parts'='DEPARTS'

'for' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for departs that I've seen before include "Goes, leaves" , "Goes away" , "Quits" , "Does runner" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
