Ignite romping with hot bedwear (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

nightie

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

'bedwear' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'ignite romping with hot' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'hot' could be 'h' (abbreviation eg on taps) and 'h' is found in the answer.
an anagram of 'ignite' is 'nigtie' which is within the remaining letters.
This accounts for all the letters.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for nightie that I've seen before include "Bed attire (colloq.)" , "worn by some retired people" , "Loose dress worn in bed" , "Familiar bed-wear for woman" , "Woman in bed in this" .)
