The definition is at the beginning of the clue.
How the clue works
Right, so Very old person is the definition — an ancient is just an aged old soul. Now look at "nice tan" — the clue tells you it's "misguided," which is your anagram signal, so you shuffle those letters about and they spell ANCIENT.
