'naked paramour and judge did stuff' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'naked paramour and judge' is the wordplay.
'naked' means to look at the middle letters.
'paramour' becomes 'lover' (I've seen this before).
'and' says to put letters next to each other.
'judge' becomes 'rate' (rating is a kind of judging).
The middle letters of 'lover' are 'ove'.
'ove'+'rate'='OVERATE'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for overate that I've seen before include "consumed too much" , "Gormandised" , "Binged, glutted" , "got stuffed" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
