Sea Lord involved in trials (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ordeals

'trials' is the definition.
(I know this)

'sea lord involved' is the wordplay.
'involved' is an anagram indicator (involved can mean confusing or complex).
'sea'+'lord'='sealord'
'sealord' anagrammed gives 'ORDEALS'.

'in' is the link.

(Other definitions for ordeals that I've seen before include "Testing experiences" , "Difficult experiences, hard times" , "Tribulations" , "difficult tests" , "Trying experiences" .)
