Decide on making change of direction - and get annoyed? (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

nettle

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'decide on making change' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'direction and get annoyed?' is the wordplay.
'direction' becomes 'N' (compass direction north).
'and' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'get annoyed?' becomes 'ettle' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'n'+'ettle'='NETTLE'

'of' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for nettle that I've seen before include "Plant with stinging hairs" , "Annoy - stinger" , "Irritate - weed" , "Growing" , "Wild plant - annoy" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
