Disheartened, get in a stew about being the most nasal (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

twangiest

'the most nasal' is the definition.
(twangy can mean with a nasal voice)

'disheartened get in a stew about' is the wordplay.
'disheartened' means to remove the middle letters.
'about' indicates anagramming the letters.
'get' with its centre taken out is 'gt'.
'gt'+'in'+'a'+'stew'='gtinastew'
'gtinastew' is an anagram of 'TWANGIEST'.

'being' acts as a link.

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
