It's grand in raw being prompt (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

nudge

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

'prompt' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'it's grand in raw' is the wordplay.
'it's grand' becomes 'g' (G is short for grand as in a thousand).
'in' is an insertion indicator.
'raw' becomes 'nude' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'g' placed inside 'nude' is 'NUDGE'.

'being' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for nudge that I've seen before include "Gentle push" , "Push gently" , "---. ---, wink, wink (Monty Python)" , "Gentle prod" , "Remind (with the elbow?)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
