name

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

'celebrity' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'going around in national costume' is the wordplay.
'going' becomes 'panning' (panning is a kind of going).
'around' says to take the centre.
'in national costume' becomes 'ame' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
The middle letter of 'panning' is 'n'.
'n'+'ame'='NAME'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for name that I've seen before include "''A rose by any other ... would smell as sweet'' (Romeo and Juliet)" , "Cite" , "Handel, for example" , "Designation - reputation" , "Title; famous person" .)

I've seen this clue in the Irish Times.
