Ciders inebriated man picked out (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

discerned

'picked out' is the definition.
('discern' can be a synonym of 'pick out')

'ciders inebriated man' is the wordplay.
'inebriated' indicates anagramming the letters (inebriated can mean drunk, suggesting disorder).
'man' becomes 'ned' (man's name).
'ciders' is an anagram of 'discer'.
'discer'+'ned'='DISCERNED'

(Other definitions for discerned that I've seen before include "Distinguished, made out" , "Identified by close investigation" , "Caught sight of" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
