I refuse to meet deranged traveller (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

nomad

'traveller' is the definition.
(I know that Nomad is a type of bird of passage)

'i refuse to meet deranged' is the wordplay.
'i refuse' becomes 'no'.
'to meet' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'deranged' becomes 'mad' (both can mean mentally disturbed).
'no'+'mad'='NOMAD'

(Other definitions for nomad that I've seen before include "Person always on the move" , "Migrant" , "Member of a wandering pastoral community" , "Member of travelling people" , "Damon (anag.)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
