Around the thigh of lamer ensembles (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

femoral

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

'around the thigh' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'of lamer ensembles' is the wordplay.
'ensembles' indicates anagramming the letters (I've seen 'ensemble' mean this).
'of'+'lamer'='oflamer'
'oflamer' is an anagram of 'FEMORAL'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for femoral that I've seen before include "Of or near the thighbone" , "Of the thigh artery" , "Lor, fame can relate to the thigh" , "Relating to the thigh bone" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
