Wandering star seen by a worshipper with dreadlocks (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

rasta

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

'worshipper with dreadlocks' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't tell whether it can be defined by this definition.

'wandering star seen by a' is the wordplay.
'wandering' is an anagram indicator.
'seen by' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'star' with letters rearranged gives 'rast'.
'rast'+'a'='RASTA'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for rasta that I've seen before include "Often a Jamaican" , "sectarian worshipper" , "Jamaican believer" , "worshipper from Jamaica" , "Religious adherent" .)
