Accented; overwrought (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

stressed

This clue is a double definition.

'accented' is the first definition.
(I know that accented can be written as stressed)

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

(Other definitions for stressed that I've seen before include "Under great strain" , "anxious" , "Under pressure/tension" , "Pressurised, strained" , "exerted pressure" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
