Blamed for the mad-house (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

bedlam

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

'the mad-house' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'blamed' is the wordplay.
'blamed' can be anagrammed to 'BEDLAM'.
However, I'm unsure how this is indicated.

'for' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for bedlam that I've seen before include "Blamed for deafening noise" , "Blames for uproar" , "Noisy confused state" , "chaotic state" , "Mayhem" .)
