man

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

'native' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'of normandy?' is the wordplay.
'of' says the answer is hidden in the clue.
'MAN' can be found hidden inside 'normandy'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for man that I've seen before include "Homo sapiens" , "Provide with crew" , "Irish Sea isle" , "See 24" , "Isle of -; chess piece" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
