Checked notice and worried! (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

contained

'checked' is the definition.
(containing is a kind of checking)

'notice and worried' is the wordplay.
'worried' indicates anagramming the letters.
'notice'+'and'='noticeand'
'noticeand' with letters rearranged gives 'CONTAINED'.

(Other definitions for contained that I've seen before include "Held in" , "Enclosed" , "Checked" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
