Fury engulfing English crown (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

wreath

'crown' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'fury engulfing english' is the wordplay.
'fury' becomes 'wrath' (I've seen this before).
'engulfing' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'english' becomes 'e' (abbreviation).
'wrath' placed around 'e' is 'WREATH'.

(Other definitions for wreath that I've seen before include "Circle of flowers in honour of dead" , "The war (anag.)" , "Circular band of flowers and leaves, often seen on graves" , "Circle of flowers used at funerals" , "26 Down may be shaped into this decorative ring" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
