University disco due to move to shed? (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

deciduous

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

'shed?' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are adjectives. Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'university disco due to move' is the wordplay.
'university' becomes 'u' (abbreviation for university).
'to move' is an anagram indicator.
'u'+'disco'+'due'='udiscodue'
'udiscodue' is an anagram of 'DECIDUOUS'.

'to' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for deciduous that I've seen before include "like certain trees" , "(Of tree or shrub) dropping its leaves annually" , "Not evergreen" , "Losing leaves annually" , "Like plane" .)
