Barred from rollerblading, surprisingly, and hanging around generally (7)

I believe the answer is:

lolling

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

'hanging around generally' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'barred from rollerblading surprisingly' is the wordplay.
'from' indicates named letters should be taken away.
'surprisingly' is an anagram indicator (a surprising ordering of the letters).
'rollerblading' with 'barred' removed is 'ollling'.
'ollling' anagrammed gives 'LOLLING'.

'and' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for lolling that I've seen before include "Sprawling" , "Lying lazily about" , "Lounging, slouching" , "Lounging around" , "Loafing, lounging" .)
