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

'intimate clothing' is the definition.
'undies' can be an answer for 'clothing' (undies is a kind of clothing). I am not sure about the 'intimate' bit.

I don't understand how the remainder of the clue works.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for undies that I've seen before include "linen" , "Knickers (abbrev.)" , "Lingerie -- is nude (anag)" , "Pants" , "Used in (anag) -- unmentionables" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
