Crossword Genius

Not at all wild wanderer (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

nomad

'wanderer' is the definition.
(I know that Nomad is a type of wanderer)

'not at all wild' is the wordplay.
'not at all' becomes 'no'.
'wild' becomes 'mad' (similar in meaning).
'no'+'mad'='NOMAD'

(Other definitions for nomad that I've seen before include "One travels from place to place with no permanent home" , "Roamer" , "A member of a wandering tribe" , "Member of travelling people" , "being domestically unstable" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
