Fatigue confuses both residents and dissenter (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tiredness

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

'fatigue' is the definition.
(I know that fatigue can be written as tiredness)

'confuses both residents and dissenter' is the wordplay.
'residents' anagrams to 'TIREDNESS'.
Though, I am unsure how the anagram is indicated.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for tiredness that I've seen before include "Lassitude; residents (anag.)" , "7 (anag)" , "Weary feeling" , "Residents in state of fatigue" , "That's liable to occur at midnight" .)
