Previously underemployed in year, sly one viewed topless women (6,3)
I believe the answer is:
nearly new
'previously underemployed' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't judge whether it can be defined by this definition.
'year sly one viewed topless women' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'year' could be 'y' and 'y' is found within the answer.
'one' could be 'a' and 'a' is located in the answer.
'women' could be 'w' and 'w' is found in the answer.
This may be the basis of clue (or it may be nonsense).
'in' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for nearly new that I've seen is " Worn just once or twice?".)
