Rogue dwelling at home (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

villain

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

'rogue' is the definition.
(both can mean a dishonourable person)

'dwelling at home' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'at' could be 'in' (synonymous in some cases - eg at school, in school) and 'in' is located in the answer.
'home' could be 'villa' (I've seen this before) and 'villa' is found within the answer.
This accounts for all the letters.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for villain that I've seen before include "Criminal, rogue" , "He may rob you" , "Bad guy" , "Scoundrel" , "Criminal person" .)
