Alone, I shiver from the action of the wind (6)

I believe the answer is:

eolian

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

'the action of the wind' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'alone i shiver' is the wordplay.
'shiver' is an anagram indicator (I've seen 'shivering' mean this).
'alone'+'i'='alonei'
'alonei' is an anagram of 'EOLIAN'.

'from' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for eolian that I've seen before include "Wind-borne (Amer.)" , "type of harp" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
