Crossword Genius

Anxious bride going off with stud (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

disturbed

'anxious' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'bride going off with stud' is the wordplay.
'going off with' is an anagram indicator (letters go or move around).
'bride' mixed up with 'stud' makes 'DISTURBED'.

(Other definitions for disturbed that I've seen before include "Agitated" , "Troubled" , "Interrupted" , "Changed the set arrangement or made uneasy" , "Emotionally upset -- worried" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
