Crossword Genius

Fired with fury (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ire

'fury' is the definition.
(ire is intense rage)

'fired with' is the wordplay.
'with' indicates a hidden word.
'IRE' can be found hidden inside 'fired'.

(Other definitions for ire that I've seen before include "Paddy" , "Irritation, anger" , "Annoyance, vexation" , "Anger, rage" , "'Anger, wrath (3)'" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
