Feeling for Greenlander with temperature inside home about zero (9)

I believe the answer is:

intuition

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

'feeling' is the definition.
(intuition is a kind of feeling)

'greenlander with temperature inside home about zero' is the wordplay.
'greenlander' becomes 'inuit' (I have seen 'Indigenous Greenlander' mean 'inuit' so perhaps 'greenlander' could also mean 'inuit').
'with' is an insertion indicator.
'temperature' becomes 't' (abbreviation).
'inside home about zero' becomes 'ion' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'inuit' enclosing 't' is 'intuit'.
'intuit'+'ion'='INTUITION'

'for' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for intuition that I've seen before include "an instinctive thing" , "Instinctive knowledge" , "Hunch" , "Suspicion" , "Ability to understand immediately" .)
