Preferring solitude in urinals when tipsy (7)

I believe the answer is:

insular

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

'preferring solitude' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'urinals when tipsy' is the wordplay.
'when tipsy' indicates an anagram (I've seen this in other clues).
'urinals' anagrammed gives 'INSULAR'.

'in' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for insular that I've seen before include "Aloof - like an island" , "Isolated -- urinals (anag)" , "Run sail (anag.)" , "Narrowly restricted in outlook or scope" , "Provincial" .)
