Possibly blamed for a state of uproar (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

bedlam

'a state of uproar' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'possibly blamed' is the wordplay.
'possibly' indicates anagramming the letters.
'blamed' is an anagram of 'BEDLAM'.

'for' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for bedlam that I've seen before include "Scene of uproar and confusion" , "Blames for uproar" , "Blamed for intolerable noise" , "Scene of uproar and disorder" , "State of extreme confusion and disorder" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Independent.
