Confuse editors in error (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

disorient

'confuse' is the definition.
(I know that disorient is a type of confuse)

'editors in error' is the wordplay.
'error' is an anagram indicator.
'editors'+'in'='editorsin'
'editorsin' is an anagram of 'DISORIENT'.

(Other definitions for disorient that I've seen before include "confuse" , "Puzzle" , "muddle" , "Get confused" .)

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