Bully gets personal after I'd left (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

intimidate

'bully' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'personal after i'd left' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'i'd' could be 'id' and 'id' is found in the answer.
'personal' could be 'intimate' (synonyms) and 'intimate' is located in the leftover letters.
No letters remain.
This may be the basis of clue (or it may be nonsense).

'gets' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for intimidate that I've seen before include "Frighten" , "Strike fear into" , "Cow" , "Threaten" , "Bully" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
