Nudity is made out to be slovenly (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

untidy

'be slovenly' is the definition.
(similar in meaning)

'nudity is made out' is the wordplay.
'is made out' is an anagram indicator.
'nudity' is an anagram of 'UNTIDY'.

'to' is the link.

(Other definitions for untidy that I've seen before include "Scruffy" , "Disorderly, slipshod" , "Disorderly, dishevelled" , "Not inclined to be neat" , "Slovenly, unkempt" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Independent.
