Crossword Genius

Gander expressed anger (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

peek

'gander' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'expressed anger' is the wordplay.
'expressed' indicates a 'sounds like' (homophone) clue.
'anger' becomes 'pique' (piquing is a kind of angering).
'pique' sounds like 'PEEK'.

(Other definitions for peek that I've seen before include "Sly look, peep" , "Repeatedly look like this" , "Furtive glance" , "Glimpse" , "Take brief or surreptitious look" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
