Wrongly blamed for the uproar (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

bedlam

'the uproar' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'wrongly blamed' is the wordplay.
'wrongly' indicates an anagram (I've seen this in other clues).
'blamed' anagrammed gives 'BEDLAM'.

'for' is the link.

(Other definitions for bedlam that I've seen before include "Mayhem" , "Loud confused noise" , "Ambled (anag)" , "Blames for uproar" , "Scene of uproar and disorder" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
