Possibly blamed for a scene of confusion (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

bedlam

'a scene of confusion' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'possibly blamed' is the wordplay.
'possibly' is an anagram indicator.
'blamed' anagrammed gives 'BEDLAM'.

'for' is the link.

(Other definitions for bedlam that I've seen before include "Blamed for confused uproar" , "Scene of uproar and confusion" , "Place of uproar and confusion" , "Scene of uproar and disorder" , "Very noisy confused place" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
