Crossword Genius

Hardly a crazy Bedouin (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

nomad

'bedouin' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'hardly a crazy' is the wordplay.
'hardly' becomes 'no' (eg 'hardly a meal' means 'not a meal' or 'no meal').
'a crazy' becomes 'mad' (I've seen this in another clue).
'no'+'mad'='NOMAD'

(Other definitions for nomad that I've seen before include "One travels from place to place with no permanent home" , "Member of a wandering pastoral community" , "Person wandering" , "Traveller with no permanent home" , "wandering type" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
