Man’s alarm, coming from Spain (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

hispanic

'coming from spain' is the definition.
(Hispanic means relating to or coming from Spain)

'man's alarm' is the wordplay.
'man's' becomes 'His' (belonging to a man).
'alarm' becomes 'panic' (alarm can mean panic or worry).
'his'+'panic'='HISPANIC'

(Other definitions for hispanic that I've seen before include "like Don Quixote" , "Maybe Iberian" , "Spanish" , "Latin" , "Relating to Spain" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
