Revealing person in Tunis, mad about daughter (6)

I believe the answer is:

nudist

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'revealing person' is the definition.
'nudist' can be an answer for 'person' (nudist is a kind of person). I'm not certain of the 'revealing' bit.

'tunis mad about daughter' is the wordplay.
'mad' indicates an anagram.
'about' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'daughter' becomes 'd' (genealogical abbreviation).
'tunis' with letters rearranged gives 'nuist'.
'nuist' enclosing 'd' is 'NUDIST'.

'in' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for nudist that I've seen before include "One who disapproves of clothes" , "Person committed to going unclothed" , "Someone choosing not to wear clothes" , "one who shows all" , "I want to be 12 [NAKED]" .)
