Country person bearing some twisted longing for family again (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

homesick

'longing for family again' is the definition.
(a homesick person longs for their home or family)

'country person bearing some twisted' is the wordplay.
'country person' becomes 'hick' (informal term for someone who lives in the country).
'bearing' is an insertion indicator.
'twisted' indicates an anagram.
'some' anagrammed gives 'omes'.
'hick' going around 'omes' is 'HOMESICK'.

(Other definitions for homesick that I've seen before include "Unhappy away" , "Nostalgic" , "Missing one's normal environment" , "Feeling sadness when away from family etc" , "I shock me (anag.)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
