Uproar in opium den man resolved (11)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

pandemonium

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

'opium den man resolved' is the wordplay.
'resolved' indicates anagramming the letters.
'opium'+'den'+'man'='opiumdenman'
'opiumdenman' anagrammed gives 'PANDEMONIUM'.

'in' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for pandemonium that I've seen before include "State of chaos" , "Chaos and confusion" , "havoc" , "Tumultuous uproar" , "Bedlam" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
