Crossword Genius

Dad gets Enid upset and hurt (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

pained

'hurt' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'dad gets enid upset' is the wordplay.
'dad' becomes 'pa' (both can mean one's father).
'gets' indicates putting letters inside.
'upset' indicates an anagram.
'enid' anagrammed gives 'ined'.
'pa' placed into 'ined' is 'PAINED'.

'and' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for pained that I've seen before include "Caused hurt." , "Caused suffering to" , "Distressed so it hurts?" , "Distressed and annoyed - hurted" , "Hurt and disapproving (6)" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
