Ruin Ghana after moving from European country (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

hungarian

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

'european country' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't understand how one could define the other.

'ruin ghana after moving' is the wordplay.
'after moving' indicates anagramming the letters.
'ruin'+'ghana'='ruinghana'
'ruinghana' is an anagram of 'HUNGARIAN'.

'from' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for hungarian that I've seen is " European".)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
