Wrongly blamed for uproar (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

bedlam

'uproar' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'wrongly blamed' is the wordplay.
'wrongly' indicates anagramming the letters (I've seen this in other clues).
'blamed' is an anagram of 'BEDLAM'.

'for' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for bedlam that I've seen before include "Blamed for chaotic situation" , "State of extreme confusion and uproar" , "Madhouse - uproar" , "Place of uproar or madness" , "Blammed for uproar" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
