Extremely anxious fool's suspect ethics (10)

I believe the answer is:

twitchiest

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

'extremely anxious' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'fool's suspect ethics' is the wordplay.
'fool' becomes 'twit' (both can mean a stupid person).
'suspect' indicates anagramming the letters (a suspicious or unusual spelling).
'ethics' is an anagram of 'chiest'.
'twit'+'chiest'='TWITCHIEST'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for twitchiest that I've seen is " most ill at ease".)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
