Could it be worn in a hospital bed? (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

alb

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

'could it be worn' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'in a hospital bed?' is the wordplay.
'in' says the answer is hidden in the clue.
'ALB' is hidden in the letters of 'hospital bed'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for alb that I've seen before include "Long white robe worn by proest" , "clerical belongings" , "Clerical vestment." , "Priestly garment" , "Long white robe worn by Christian priest" .)
