Homes for terrible liars (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

lairs

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

'homes' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both locations as well as being plural nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'terrible liars' is the wordplay.
'terrible' indicates an anagram.
'liars' anagrammed gives 'LAIRS'.

'for' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for lairs that I've seen before include "Places to hide" , "forms etc" , "Resting places of wild animals" , "retreats" , "Animals' dens" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
