Clara's upset by a rogue (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

rascal

'a rogue' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'clara's upset' is the wordplay.
'upset' indicates anagramming the letters.
'claras' is an anagram of 'RASCAL'.

'by' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for rascal that I've seen before include "Brat" , "A mischievous and maybe dishonest person" , "Affectionate term for imp" , "naughty child" , "wretch" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Independent.
