One sending up road tips after travelling (8)

I believe the answer is:

parodist

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

'one sending up' is the definition.
The answer is a person as well as being a singular noun. This is suggested by the definition.

'road tips after travelling' is the wordplay.
'after travelling' is an anagram indicator (letters travel around).
'road'+'tips'='roadtips'
'roadtips' anagrammed gives 'PARODIST'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for parodist that I've seen before include "One takes off" , "One who mimics satirically" , "imitator of others" , "The caricaturist" , "One makes fun" .)
