Get in the gin - a parent is upset (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

entrap

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

'get' is the definition.
(I know that entrap is a more specific form of the action capture)

'the gin a parent is upset' is the wordplay.
'parent' can be anagrammed to 'ENTRAP'.
But, I am unsure how the anagram is indicated.

'in' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for entrap that I've seen before include "Trick or beguile for parent" , "Deceive -- lead on" , "Trepan (anag.)" , "Set up" , "Parent (anag)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish News.
