Describing multisided shape in lagoon, act strangely (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

octagonal

'describing multisided shape' is the definition.

'lagoon act strangely' is the wordplay.
'strangely' is an anagram indicator.
'lagoon'+'act'='lagoonact'
'lagoonact' with letters rearranged gives 'OCTAGONAL'.

'in' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for octagonal that I've seen before include "with certain sides" , "Having eight straight sides" , "Eight sided" , "with quite a few sides" , "With eight sides and angles" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
