Travelling tribesman (5)
I believe the answer is:
nomad
'travelling tribesman' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe there's an association between them I don't understand?
This is all the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for nomad that I've seen before include "A wandering tribesman" , "Damon (anag.)" , "Itinerant" , "is one unsettled?" , "one must move on" .)
