What being abandoned could make for rawer nude? (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

underwear

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

'what being abandoned could make' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'rawer nude?' is the wordplay.
'rawer nude' anagrams to 'UNDERWEAR'.
Though, I'm unsure how this is indicated.

'for' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for underwear that I've seen before include "Slip maybe" , "Garments worn next to the skin" , "Endure war about smalls" , "Bloomers" , "Clothing nearest the skin" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
