A bit of an upset farm gent (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

fragment

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

'an upset farm gent' is the wordplay.
'an upset' is an anagram indicator.
'farm'+'gent'='farmgent'
'farmgent' with letters rearranged gives 'FRAGMENT'.

'of' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for fragment that I've seen before include "Particle" , "Broken-off piece" , "Piece broken off something else" , "Shard" , "Small piece" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
