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

'immigrant' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'upset women around cold monarch' is the wordplay.
'upset' indicates anagramming the letters.
'around' becomes 'c' (abbreviation for 'circa').
'cold monarch' becomes 'er' (abbreviation for Elizabeth Regina, British Queen. I am not sure about the 'cold' bit.).
'women'+'c'='womenc'
'womenc' with letters rearranged gives 'newcom'.
'newcom'+'er'='NEWCOMER'

Can you help me to learn more?
