Role gun played in relaxing chair (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

lounger

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'relaxing chair' is the definition.
'lounger' can be an answer for 'chair' (I've seen this before). I'm not certain of the 'relaxing' bit.

'role gun played' is the wordplay.
'played' indicates anagramming the letters.
'role'+'gun'='rolegun'
'rolegun' is an anagram of 'LOUNGER'.

'in' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for lounger that I've seen before include "Comfortable seat" , "Sunbed" , "Relax on this" , "Adjustable couch - loose leisure garment" , "Casual coat" .)
