Angered by, being sensitive (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sore

This clue is a double definition.

'angered' is the first definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'being sensitive' is the second definition.
(as in a sore wound)

'by' is the link.

(Other definitions for sore that I've seen before include "Feeling pain or informally angry" , "very much" , "To be very old" , "Spot of aggravation" , "Painful or tender" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
