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

'islanders upset by nice pirates' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'upset by nice pirates' is the wordplay.
'upset by' is an anagram indicator.
'nice'+'pirates'='nicepirates'
'nicepirates' anagrammed gives 'PITCAIRNESE'.
