Being acid causes the little woman wild anger (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

vinegar

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

'being acid' is the definition.
(vinegar is an acid)

'the little woman wild anger' is the wordplay.
'the little woman' becomes 'vi' (short for Violet. I am not sure about the 'little' bit.).
'wild' indicates an anagram.
'anger' anagrammed gives 'negar'.
'vi'+'negar'='VINEGAR'

'causes' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for vinegar that I've seen before include "Healer with brown paper" , "Pickling agent" , "Acidic condiment" , "Sour-tasting liquid as condiment" , "Salad dressing" .)
