Undress to dance hit absurdity (8,4)
I believe the answer is:
birthday suit
'undress' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both states of affairs as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'dance hit absurdity' is the wordplay.
'dance' is an anagram indicator (I've seen this in other clues).
'hit'+'absurdity'='hitabsurdity'
'hitabsurdity' is an anagram of 'BIRTHDAY SUIT'.
'to' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for birthday suit that I've seen before include "Invisible outfit?" , "Invisible threads?" , "Nothing to wear?" , "State of total nakedness" , "Invisible attire?" .)
