Crossword Genius

Be all upset by a girl (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

bella

'a girl' is the definition.

'be all upset' is the wordplay.
'upset' is a reversal indicator.
'all' reversed gives 'lla'.
'be'+'lla'='BELLA'

'by' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for bella that I've seen before include "Girl's name" , "Girl" , "Deadly nightshade or atropine" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
