Nomad lost face in forearm fracture (6)
I believe the answer is:
roamer
'nomad' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
I cannot understand how the remainder of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for roamer that I've seen before include "Aimless traveller" , "One who travels aimlessly over a wide area" , "Unsettled person" , "Wanderer" .)
