Roam around in alarm, taking everything in (9)

I believe the answer is:

panoramic

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

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

'roam around in alarm' is the wordplay.
'around' indicates anagramming the letters.
'in' is an insertion indicator.
'alarm' becomes 'panic' (alarm can mean panic or worry).
'roam' is an anagram of 'oram'.
'oram' put inside 'panic' is 'PANORAMIC'.

'taking' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for panoramic that I've seen before include "not restricted" , "Comprehensive" , "Extensive" , "Widespread" , "in all directions" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
