Get us another person to stay (5)

I believe the answer is:

guest

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

'person to stay' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'get us another' is the wordplay.
'another' indicates an anagram.
'get'+'us'='getus'
'getus' is an anagram of 'GUEST'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for guest that I've seen before include "Invited visitor" , "Customer of a hotel" , "One receiving hospitality" , "Invitee" , "company" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
