Underwear made from artificial fibres? (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

briefs

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

'underwear' is the definition.
(I know that briefs is a type of underpants)

'from artificial fibres?' is the wordplay.
'fibres' can be anagrammed to 'BRIEFS'.
Though, I'm unsure how this is indicated.

'made' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for briefs that I've seen before include "Underwear and lawyer's documents" , "Digests" , "by which privates will be constrained" , "Gives information and instructions (to)" , "Underpants for a lawyer" .)
