His home is detached naturally (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

islander

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

'his home' is the definition.
The answer is a person as well as being a singular noun. This is suggested by the definition.

'is detached naturally' is the wordplay.
'detached naturally' becomes 'lander' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'is'+'lander'='ISLANDER'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for islander that I've seen before include "One from Islay, Man, etc" , "Perhaps Sardinian" , "End rails (anag)" , "Isolated dweller" , "Maybe Corfiot" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
