Afflicted in Paris — cold, shivering (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

dropsical

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

'afflicted' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are adjectives. Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'paris cold shivering' is the wordplay.
'shivering' is an anagram indicator.
'paris'+'cold'='pariscold'
'pariscold' is an anagram of 'DROPSICAL'.

'in' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for dropsical that I've seen is " bloated with water".)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
