Replacing Dundee strip (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

denude

'strip' is the definition.
('denude' can be a synonym of 'strip')

'replacing dundee' is the wordplay.
'replacing' indicates an anagram (placing again).
'dundee' with letters rearranged gives 'DENUDE'.

(Other definitions for denude that I've seen before include "Strip - expose" , "Strip away cover, make bare" , "Uncover" , "Strip, deprive, of" , "Strip cover from, as leaves from trees" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
