See plane struggling and people (8)

I believe the answer is:

nepalese

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

'and people' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'see plane struggling' is the wordplay.
'struggling' indicates anagramming the letters (the letters struggle or wriggle into a new form).
'see'+'plane'='seeplane'
'seeplane' with letters rearranged gives 'NEPALESE'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for nepalese that I've seen before include "Gurkhas" , "Asian" , "High-up person perhaps" , "From Kathmandu?" , "Highlander" .)
