'it may suggest exposure' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot tell whether this works.

'note taken badly' is the wordplay.
'note' becomes 'fa' (fourth note in sol-fa notation: doh, ray, me...).
'badly' indicates anagramming the letters.
'taken' is an anagram of 'ketan'.
'fa'+'ketan'='FAKE TAN'
