Crossword Genius

Fury about new row (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

range

'row' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'fury about new' is the wordplay.
'fury' becomes 'rage' ('rage' can be a synonym of 'fury').
'about' indicates putting letters inside.
'new' becomes 'n'.
'rage' going around 'n' is 'RANGE'.

(Other definitions for range that I've seen before include "Full choice of clothes" , "Kitchen gadget" , "Chain of mountains" , "Array" , "Compass - scope" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
