Excite or trouble (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

agitate

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'excite' is the first definition.
(I know that excite can be written as agitate)

'trouble' is the second definition.
(I know that agitate is a more specific form of the action the trouble)

(Other definitions for agitate that I've seen before include "Unsettle" , "Incite" , "'Stir, excite (7)'" , "Disturb or shake" , "Trouble, make nervous" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Mail and The Mirror.
