Hunter set up sleeping accommodation at home (6)

I believe the answer is:

nimrod

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

'hunter' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'up sleeping accommodation at home' is the wordplay.
'up' shows that the letters should be reversed in order (in down clue: letters go upwards).
'sleeping accommodation' becomes 'dorm' (I have seen 'overnight accommodation' mean 'dorm' so perhaps 'accommodation' could also mean 'dorm'. I am not sure about the 'sleeping' bit.).
'at home' becomes 'in' ('I'm in' can mean 'I'm at home').
'dorm'+'in'='dormin'
'dormin' reversed gives 'NIMROD'.

'set' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for nimrod that I've seen before include "Mighty hunter of Genesis" , "Skilful hunter (Genesis)" , "One of Elgar's Enigma Variations" , "OT hunter" , "Mighty hunter of the Bible" .)
