Crossword Genius

Banshee disturbed insignificant individual (3-4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

has-been

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

'insignificant individual' is the definition.
'has-been' can be an answer for 'individual' (has-been is a kind of individual). I'm not certain of the 'insignificant' bit.

'banshee disturbed' is the wordplay.
'disturbed' is an anagram indicator.
'banshee' is an anagram of 'HAS-BEEN'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for has-been that I've seen before include "Person no longer famous, like banshee" , "Banshee (anag.)" , "Person no longer of consequence" , "One-time leading light who's faded" , "Person no longer famous or successful" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
