One from Dakar seen buffeted by winds close to village (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

senegalese

'one from dakar' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'seen buffeted by winds close to village' is the wordplay.
'buffeted' is an anagram indicator.
'by' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'winds' becomes 'gales' (gale is a kind of wind).
'close to' indicates one should take the final letters (the 'close' to the word).
The final letter of 'village' is 'e'.
'seen' with letters rearranged gives 'sene'.
'sene'+'gales'+'e'='SENEGALESE'

(Other definitions for senegalese that I've seen before include "Relating to a West African country" , "from West Africa" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
