Blunder in Caribbean location not initiated by an irregular soldier (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

guerrilla

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

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

'blunder in caribbean location not initiated by an' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'blunder' could be 'err' (to err is to make a mistake or blunder) and 'err' is located in the answer.
'an' could be 'i' (Roman numeral for one) and 'i' is found in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for guerrilla that I've seen before include "One fighting" , "Politically motivated fighter" , "Member of politically-motivated fighting group" , "Underground fighter" , "freedom fighter?" .)
