Shelter from undesirable exposure (3)

I believe the answer is:

lee

'shelter' is the definition.
(as in lee side, the side sheltered from wind)

'from undesirable exposure' is the wordplay.
'from' says the answer is hidden in the clue.
'LEE' is hidden in the letters of 'undesirable exposure'.

(Other definitions for lee that I've seen before include "Towards the side away from the wind (naut)" , "Shelter" , "Confederate general" , "The sheltered side of something" , "Commander of the Confederate States Army in the American Civil War" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
