A nun, woozy with a cigar from somewhere in Central America (10)

I believe the answer is:

nicaraguan

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

'somewhere in central america' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot see how one could define the other.

'a nun woozy with a cigar' is the wordplay.
'woozy with' indicates an anagram (I've seen this in other clues).
'a'+'nun'='anun'
'a'+'cigar'='acigar'
'anun' with its letters anagrammed with 'acigar' makes 'NICARAGUAN'.

'from' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for nicaraguan that I've seen before include "Latin" , "Central American" .)
