Crossword Genius

Cross from Izmir at eventide (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

irate

'cross' is the definition.
(both can mean angry)

'from izmir at eventide' is the wordplay.
'from' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'IRATE' is hidden in the letters of 'izmir at eventide'.

(Other definitions for irate that I've seen before include "will be up in arms" , "become irritated" , "Wild" , "I tear away, being annoyed" , "Angry, enraged" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish News.
