Crossword Genius

In Laos I disrupted connection (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

liaison

'connection' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'in laos i disrupted' is the wordplay.
'disrupted' is an anagram indicator.
'in'+'laos'+'i'='inlaosi'
'inlaosi' anagrammed gives 'LIAISON'.

(Other definitions for liaison that I've seen before include "Intimate relationship" , "Association" , "Channel of communication" , "Contact between groups" , "Illicit romance" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
