Fret about wood (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

repine

'fret' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'about wood' is the wordplay.
'about' becomes 're' ('re' means regarding or about).
'wood' becomes 'pine' (pine is a type of wood).
're'+'pine'='REPINE'

(Other definitions for repine that I've seen before include "Fret, about a tree perhaps?" , "Be in a state of anxiety" , "Express discontent, fret" , "Plain" , "Fret, be discontented" .)
