Boxers perhaps disorientated -- dare we run? (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

underwear

'boxers perhaps' is the definition.
(I know that boxer shorts is a underwear)

'disorientated dare we run?' is the wordplay.
'disorientated' indicates an anagram.
'dare'+'we'+'run'='darewerun'
'darewerun' anagrammed gives 'UNDERWEAR'.

(Other definitions for underwear that I've seen before include "Vest, pants etc" , "Hidden clothing" , "Vests, knickers etc" , "Garments worn next to the skin" , "Garments worn beneath other clothes" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
