Crossword Genius

Enthusiast from Brazil, say (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

nut

I believe this is a double definition.

'enthusiast' is the first definition.
(nut can mean an enthusiast or fan)

'brazil say' is the second definition.
(brazil is a kind of nut)

'from' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for nut that I've seen before include "Bolt counterpart" , "Hard-headed person" , "One securing bolt" , "Food put in crackers" , "1A [CRACKPOT]?" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
