No bananas for wanderer (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

nomad

'wanderer' is the definition.
(nomad is a kind of wanderer)

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

'for' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for nomad that I've seen before include "being domestically unstable" , "Person wandering" , "one must move on" , "A member of a wandering tribe" , "Itinerant" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
