Crossword Genius

Woman, going topless, man expelled from garden (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sari

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

'expelled from garden' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'woman going topless man' is the wordplay.
'woman' becomes 'ms' (Ms can refer to an older or unmarried woman).
'going topless' means to remove the first letter.
'man' becomes 'ari' ().
'ms' with its initial letter removed is 's'.
's'+'ari'='SARI'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for sari that I've seen before include "Indian costume" , "Hindu woman's dress" , "habit" , "Traditional dress of Hindu women" , "Traditional Indian women's dress" .)
