Anger with a disease (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

cholera

'disease' is the definition.
(cholera is a kind of disease)

'anger with a' is the wordplay.
'anger' becomes 'choler' ('choler' can be a synonym of 'anger'**).
'with' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'choler'+'a'='CHOLERA'

(Other definitions for cholera that I've seen before include "Infectious disease causing severe bowel upset" , "Oh, Clare has highly infectious disease" , "Disease contracted from infected water" , "Contagious disease" , "could kill you" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
