This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for pared that I've seen before include "Of a fruit, peeled" , "Cut bit by bit" , "Trimmed - peeled" , "Whittled as with pencil" , "Trimmed like pencil." .)
(Other definitions for stripped that I've seen before include "Pets drip (anag)" , "Deprived of cover" , "Removed paint - or clothes" , "behaved 'naughtily' in club?" , "having no gear" .)
