Local hero’s last to grasp debauched nude suggestion? (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

innuendo

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

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

'local hero's last to grasp debauched nude' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'local' could be 'inn' (local can mean someone's local pub) and 'inn' is located in the answer.
'last' could be 'n' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'n' is present in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for innuendo that I've seen before include "Suggestive remark" , "Rude suggestion" , "Implied smut" , "Indirect implication" , "Subtle disparagement" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
