Roam semi-nude somehow causing offence (12)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

misdemeanour

'offence' is the definition.
('misdemeanour' can be a synonym of 'offence')

'roam semi-nude somehow' is the wordplay.
'somehow' is an anagram indicator.
'roam'+'semi'+'nude'='roamseminude'
'roamseminude' is an anagram of 'MISDEMEANOUR'.

'causing' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for misdemeanour that I've seen before include "Minor offence" , "Minor wrongdoing" , "Minor violation" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
