Not called upon, six relax in nude burlesque (9)
I believe the answer is:
unvisited
'six relax in nude burlesque' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.
'not called' is the wordplay.
'not' becomes 'un' (prefix meaning 'not').
'called' becomes 'visited' ('visit' can be a synonym of 'call').
'un'+'visited'='UNVISITED'
'upon' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
