Furious when poor Diane appears in raincoat (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

maenadic

'furious' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'poor diane appears in raincoat' is the wordplay.
'poor' is an anagram indicator.
'appears in' indicates putting letters inside.
'raincoat' becomes 'mac' (mac is a kind of raincoat).
'diane' anagrammed gives 'enadi'.
'enadi' put inside 'mac' is 'MAENADIC'.

'when' is the link.

(Another definition for maenadic that I've seen is " Like female followers of Bacchus".)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
