A bad lad of Austrian origin (5)

I believe the answer is:

adolf

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

'austrian origin' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

'a bad lad of' is the wordplay.
'a bad' indicates anagramming the letters.
'lad'+'of'='ladof'
'ladof' is an anagram of 'ADOLF'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for adolf that I've seen before include "Large woodland area" , "Eichmann's given name" , "Hitler's christian name" , "Chancellor once" , "The familiar Mr Hitler" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
