Unsocial person Martin hopes to get thrown out (11)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

misanthrope

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

'unsocial person' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe you can see an association between them that I don't see?

'martin hopes to get thrown out' is the wordplay.
'martin hopes' can be anagrammed to 'MISANTHROPE'.
However, I'm not clear how the anagram is indicated.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for misanthrope that I've seen before include "One disliking mankind" , "Unfortunately devoid of love" , "Hater of mankind" , "Definitely not a "people" person! - shipmate Ron (anag)" , "One who hates other people" .)
