Stupidly censorious about name for man of taste (11)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

connoisseur

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

'man of taste' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe there's a link between them I don't understand?

'stupidly censorious about name' is the wordplay.
'stupidly' is an anagram indicator.
'about' is an insertion indicator.
'name' becomes 'n' (common abbreviation e.g. on forms).
'censorious' with letters rearranged gives 'conoisseur'.
'conoisseur' going around 'n' is 'CONNOISSEUR'.

'for' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for connoisseur that I've seen before include "Expert judge of taste" , "Knowledgeable art-lover" , "discriminating judge" .)
