No gruel is ordered for an idler (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

lounger

'for an idler' is the definition.
(lounger is a kind of idler)

'no gruel is ordered' is the wordplay.
'is ordered' indicates an anagram.
'no'+'gruel'='nogruel'
'nogruel' is an anagram of 'LOUNGER'.

(Other definitions for lounger that I've seen before include "Relax on this" , "Reclining chair" , "Sunbed" , "Casual coat" , "Comfortable couch" .)
