Wanderer in Virgina and Georgia – secret agent (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

vagabond

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

'wanderer' is the definition.
(I know that vagabond is a type of wanderer)

'virgina and georgia secret agent' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'and' could be 'n' (common abbreviation for 'and') and 'n' is found in the answer.
'georgia' could be 'ga' (abbreviation for the US state) and 'ga' is located in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

'in' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for vagabond that I've seen before include "One having no settled home" , "Traveller of dubious character" , "One wandering" , "Tramp" , "An idle or dishonest vagrant" .)
