Street guide for someone unfamiliar with the area (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

stranger

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

'someone unfamiliar with the area' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'street guide' is the wordplay.
'street' becomes 'st' (abbreviation).
'guide' becomes 'ranger' (I've seen this before).
'st'+'ranger'='STRANGER'

'for' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for stranger that I've seen before include "unfamiliar figure" , "More rum" , "More odd or wierd" , "More unfamiliar or odd" , "The unknown one is more unusual" .)
