Crossword Genius

Confound that wind! (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

blast

This clue is a double definition.

'confound' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)

'that wind' is the second definition.
(blast is a kind of wind)

(Other definitions for blast that I've seen before include "Report" , "Loud noise from a horn" , "Noise of explosion" , "Blow up with explosives" , "Loud horn sound" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
