Can anyone bear this irritation? (9)
I believe the answer is:
annoyance
'irritation?' is the definition.
(I know that irritation can be written as annoyance)
'can anyone bear' is the wordplay.
'can anyone' anagrams to 'ANNOYANCE'.
Though, I am not sure how the anagram is indicated.
'this' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for annoyance that I've seen before include "pest" , "Feeling of slight anger" , "(Anger at) harassment" , "trouble" , "Nuisance" .)
