'nominally backward a bit introverted' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'backward a bit introverted' is the wordplay.
'backward' shows that the letters should be reversed in order.
'a bit' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue (the answer is formed by a bit of the clue).
'rovert' is hidden within 'introverted'.
'rovert' reversed gives 'TREVOR'.
