Turn on Latino for not being real (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

notional

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

'not being real' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'turn on latino' is the wordplay.
'turn' indicates an anagram.
'on'+'latino'='onlatino'
'onlatino' anagrammed gives 'NOTIONAL'.

'for' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for notional that I've seen before include "Hypothetical, speculative" , "Hypothetical, assumed to be correct" , "La Gioconda" , "Speculative, not based on fact" , "Imaginary - in on a lot (anag)" .)
