Save European with no clothes on (4)
I believe the answer is:
bare
'on' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are adjectives. Perhaps there's an association between them I don't understand?
'save european with no clothes' is the wordplay.
'save' becomes 'bar' (I've seen this before).
'european' becomes 'greek' (Greece is in Europe).
'with no clothes' says to take the centre (letters which clothe others are removed).
The centre of 'greek' is 'e'.
'bar'+'e'='BARE'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for bare that I've seen before include "Uncovered - unfurnished - unadorned" , "Nude; uncover" , "Without protective covering" , "State of deciduous tree in winter" , "Not clothed" .)
