Eccentric charmer giving a pedestrian demonstration? (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

marcher

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

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

'eccentric charmer' is the wordplay.
'eccentric' indicates anagramming the letters.
'charmer' is an anagram of 'MARCHER'.

'giving' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for marcher that I've seen before include "One in demo" , "Frontiersman" , "character needing to keep in step?" , "One in protest walk" , "Travelling demonstrator" .)
