No bananas for homeless person (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

nomad

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

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

'no bananas' is the wordplay.
'bananas' becomes 'mad' (slang for insane).
'no'+'mad'='NOMAD'

'for' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for nomad that I've seen before include "Migrant" , "Damon (anag.)" , "Person of no fixed abode" , "Unsettled type" , "wandering type" .)
