Stripped organ found in outhouse (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sheared

'stripped' is the definition.

'organ found in outhouse' is the wordplay.
'organ' becomes 'ear' (ear is a kind of organ).
'found in' indicates putting letters inside.
'outhouse' becomes 'shed' (I've seen this before).
'ear' inserted within 'shed' is 'SHEARED'.

(Other definitions for sheared that I've seen before include "Removed fleece" , "Cut wool off (a sheep)" , "Adheres (anag.)" , "Clipped" , "Broke" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
