Bishop takes steps to get an inflated bag (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

bladder

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

'an inflated bag' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'bishop takes steps' is the wordplay.
'bishop takes' becomes 'b' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'steps' becomes 'ladder' (ladder is a kind of steps).
'b'+'ladder'='BLADDER'

'to get' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for bladder that I've seen before include "may be subject to inflation?" , "Chamber" , "Bag containing liquid or gas" , "Inflated bag" , "Distensible bag" .)
