Simple fellow eating nothing gets wind (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

simoon

'wind' is the definition.
(type of wind in the desert)

'simple fellow eating nothing' is the wordplay.
'simple fellow' becomes 'Simon' (as in the nursery rhyme character Simple Simon).
'eating' indicates putting letters inside.
'nothing' becomes 'O' (O resembles 0).
'simon' placed around 'o' is 'SIMOON'.

'gets' is the link.

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
