Crossword Genius

Coming from the desert, Sarah, an eccentric (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

saharan

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

'coming from the desert' is the definition.
'Saharan' can be an answer for 'desert' (thesaurus). I am not certain of the 'coming from the' bit.

'sarah an eccentric' is the wordplay.
'eccentric' is an anagram indicator.
'sarah'+'an'='sarahan'
'sarahan' anagrammed gives 'SAHARAN'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for saharan that I've seen before include "Deserter" , "Relating to the North African desert" , "Baking" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
