Skinned (6)
I believe the answer is:
peeled
'skinned' is the definition.
('peel' can be a synonym of 'skin')
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for peeled that I've seen before include "Of fruit, skinned" , "Stripped the skin off" , "Removed skin as from potato" , "Stripped the rind" , "Took the skin off" .)
