suitor

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

'man wanting a hand' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'tour is ruined' is the wordplay.
'ruined' is an anagram indicator.
'tour'+'is'='touris'
'touris' is an anagram of 'SUITOR'.

'by' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for suitor that I've seen before include "Wooer" , ". . . he woos his girl" , "Man pursuing a woman for marriage" , "One seeking marriage" , "He pays court to a woman" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Independent.
