Longing for one’s country (8)

I believe the answer is:

homesick

(Other definitions for homesick that I've seen before include "Feeling sadness when away from family etc" , "I shock me (anag.)" , "Unhappy away" , "Nostalgic" , "Missing one's normal environment" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
