resenting

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

'feeling piqued' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'tense going around in circle' is the wordplay.
'going around' indicates an anagram.
'in' indicates putting letters inside.
'circle' becomes 'ring' (synonyms).
'tense' with letters rearranged gives 'esent'.
'esent' put inside 'ring' is 'RESENTING'.

'and' is the link.

(Another definition for resenting that I've seen is " Feeling bitter about".)
