Once modelled naked (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

exposed

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

'once modelled' is the wordplay.
'once' becomes 'ex' (prefix meaning former or onetime).
'modelled' becomes 'posed' (model and pose are synonyms).
'ex'+'posed'='EXPOSED'

(Other definitions for exposed that I've seen before include "Deprived of protection" , "Unprotected from the weather" , "Deprived of cover" , "vulnerable" , "Showed up" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
