Annoying expats I anger anew (12)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

exasperating

'annoying' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'expats i anger anew' is the wordplay.
'anew' is an anagram indicator.
'expats'+'i'+'anger'='expatsianger'
'expatsianger' anagrammed gives 'EXASPERATING'.

(Other definitions for exasperating that I've seen before include "Irksome" , "Very frustrating" , "Infuriating" , "Extremely annoying" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
