Unsettling in character? (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

nomadic

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

'unsettling in' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'character?' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'character?' could be 'nomad' (I have seen 'Unsettled character' mean 'nomad' so perhaps 'character' could also mean 'nomad') and 'nomad' is found within the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for nomadic that I've seen before include "vagrant" , "Not settled" , "Lacking fixed home" , "Roaming" , "Given to wandering like travellers or Bedouins" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
