Felt a strong desire to disturb the CID (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

itched

'felt a strong desire' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'to disturb the cid' is the wordplay.
'to disturb' is an anagram indicator (I've seen 'disturbed' mean this (the order of letters is disturbed)).
'the'+'cid'='thecid'
'thecid' anagrammed gives 'ITCHED'.

(Other definitions for itched that I've seen before include "Was impatient (to do something)" , "irritated!" , "Was keen" , "Felt a strong desire" , "Felt tingling sensation in skin" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
