icelander

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

'foreign citizen' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe you can see a link between them that I don't see?

'in care led astray' is the wordplay.
'astray' indicates an anagram.
'in'+'care'+'led'='incareled'
'incareled' anagrammed gives 'ICELANDER'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for icelander that I've seen before include "northerner" , "North Atlantic dweller" , "Nationality of citizen of Reykjavik" , "Nordic person" , "someone from Reykjavik, probably" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
