Savages live nude without headscarves (8)

I believe the answer is:

unveiled

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

'without headscarves' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'savages live nude' is the wordplay.
'savages' is an anagram indicator (I've seen 'savage' mean this (to savage can mean to attack or destroy)).
'live'+'nude'='livenude'
'livenude' with letters rearranged gives 'UNVEILED'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for unveiled that I've seen before include "Shown for the first time" , "Revealed, uncovered" , "Took cover off - revealed" , "Removed concealing drapery from as in ceremony" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
