peripatetic

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

'nomad' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe there's an association between them I don't understand?

'works out pitta recipe' is the wordplay.
'works out' indicates anagramming the letters (I've seen 'working out' mean this (an anagram must be worked out from the letters)).
'pitta'+'recipe'='pittarecipe'
'pittarecipe' with letters rearranged gives 'PERIPATETIC'.

'perhaps' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for peripatetic that I've seen before include "Travelling around" , "Itinerant" , "Working in several places" , "Going from place to place" , "Wandering around" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
