Crossword Genius

Andre gets terribly alienated (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

estranged

'alienated' is the definition.
(I know that alienated can be written as estranged)

'andre gets terribly' is the wordplay.
'terribly' indicates anagramming the letters.
'andre'+'gets'='andregets'
'andregets' anagrammed gives 'ESTRANGED'.

(Other definitions for estranged that I've seen before include "Sad regent (anag) - disaffected" , "Having become unfriendly or alienated" , "A nerd gets (anag) - separated" , "no longer friendly" , "Cut off" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
