Crossword Genius

Bloody angry in USA, unfortunately (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sanguinary

'bloody' is the definition.
(similar in meaning)

'angry in usa unfortunately' is the wordplay.
'unfortunately' is an anagram indicator (a bad or unfortunate spelling).
'angry'+'in'+'usa'='angryinusa'
'angryinusa' is an anagram of 'SANGUINARY'.

(Another definition for sanguinary that I've seen is " hopeful".)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
