tibetan

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

'foreigner' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't see how they can define each other.

'ant bite upsets' is the wordplay.
'upsets' indicates an anagram.
'ant'+'bite'='antbite'
'antbite' anagrammed gives 'TIBETAN'.

'the' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for tibetan that I've seen before include "Nationality of citizen of Lhasa, before Chinese invasion" , "mountain man, say" , "Himalayan language" , "from high land" , "From Lhasa, perhaps" .)

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