Not a visitor I'd outwardly object to (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

resident

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

'not a visitor' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'i'd outwardly object to' is the wordplay.
'outwardly' indicates putting letters inside (some letters go outside others).
'object to' becomes 'resent' (to resent something is to dislike it).
'id' put within 'resent' is 'RESIDENT'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for resident that I've seen before include "Permanent dweller" , "Citizen" , "One living somewhere" , "Local" , "Someone with a home" .)
