Blazing with a loud anger (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

afire

'blazing' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'with a loud anger' is the wordplay.
'with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'loud' becomes 'f' (short for forte - 'loud' in music).
'anger' becomes 'ire' (ire is intense rage).
'a' put next to 'f' is 'af'.
'af'+'ire'='AFIRE'

(Other definitions for afire that I've seen before include "lit up" , "Blazing - excited" , "Ablaze" , "Alight" , "in flames" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian, The Irish Independent, The Globe and Mail and The Telegraph.
