Foreigner of Norse origin? (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

senor

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

'foreigner' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps you can see a link between them that I can't see?

'norse origin?' is the wordplay.
'norse' can be anagrammed to 'SENOR'.
However, I'm unsure how the anagram is indicated.

'of' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for senor that I've seen before include "Snore (anag.)" , "Spanish for Mr" , "Spanish chap" , "way of addressing Figaro, say" , "Snore like Spanish gent" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
