Kinky setter in nude — not curious? (12)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

uninterested

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

'kinky setter in nude' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are adjectives. Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'not curious?' is the wordplay.
'not' becomes 'un' (I've seen this in other clues).
'curious?' becomes 'interested' ('interested' can be similar in meaning to 'curious').
'un'+'interested'='UNINTERESTED'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for uninterested that I've seen before include "Apathetic" , "Not concerned" , "Bored" , "indifferent" .)
