In-law got disorientated in sleeping car (5-3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

wagon-lit

'sleeping car' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'in-law got disorientated' is the wordplay.
'disorientated' indicates anagramming the letters.
'in'+'law'+'got'='inlawgot'
'inlawgot' with letters rearranged gives 'WAGON-LIT'.

'in' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for wagon-lit that I've seen before include "Continental sleeping-car" , "Sleeping car on continental trains" , "In-law got injured in sleeping car" , "sleeper" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
