Cross from a certain Manchu dynasty (6)

I believe the answer is:

fuming

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

'cross from a certain' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'manchu dynasty' is the wordplay.
'manchu' becomes 'fu' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'dynasty' becomes 'ming' (Chinese dynasty).
'fu'+'ming'='FUMING'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for fuming that I've seen before include "Livid" , "getting cross" , "Very angry" , "Smoking (with anger?)" , "Smoking with rage" .)
