Last words from unclad ladies you kiss (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

adieux

'last words' is the definition.
(more than one 'adieu')

'unclad ladies you kiss' is the wordplay.
'unclad' indicates the central letters (the word is undressed of its external letters).
'you' becomes 'u' (commonly used in online communication).
'kiss' becomes 'x' (X can represent a kiss).
The central letters of 'ladies' are 'adie'.
'adie'+'u'+'x'='ADIEUX'

'from' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for adieux that I've seen before include "Goodbyes to Pierre" , "French goodbyes" , "Farewell remarks" , "10, 17, 19, 2, 13 etc" , "Goodbyes in France" .)
