Stream delay due to being out of regular time (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

jetlag

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

'being out of regular time' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't judge whether this works.

'stream delay' is the wordplay.
'stream' becomes 'jet'.
'delay' becomes 'lag' (lag is a kind of delay).
'jet'+'lag'='JETLAG'

'due to' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for jetlag that I've seen before include "feeling of disorientation" , "sickness from being transported" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
