Not bothered, seeing Trump in without direction (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

unruffled

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

'not bothered seeing' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are adjectives. Maybe you can see a link between them that I can't see?

'trump in without direction' is the wordplay.
'trump' becomes 'ruff' (synonyms).
'in' is an insertion indicator.
'without direction' becomes 'unled' (I've seen this in another clue).
'ruff' going inside 'unled' is 'UNRUFFLED'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for unruffled that I've seen before include "Not perturbed" , "without frills" , "Not disturbed, remaining even-tempered" , "Composed" , "Calm" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
