Fury as no black sausage? (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

anger

'fury' is the definition.
(fury is intense anger)

'no black sausage?' is the wordplay.
'no' suggests deleting specific letters.
'black' becomes 'b' (as in pencil classifications).
'sausage?' becomes 'banger' (banger is a kind of sausage).
'banger' with 'b' taken out is 'ANGER'.

'as' is the link.

(Other definitions for anger that I've seen before include "Wrath, ire" , "Spleen" , "Extreme annoyance" , "Deadly sin" , "Annoyance, displeasure" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
