Get to chaps minding tot (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

madden

'get to' is the definition.
(to get to someone is to make them mad)

'chaps minding tot' is the wordplay.
'chaps' becomes 'men' (I've seen this before).
'minding' indicates putting letters inside (inserted letters are guarded or minded by others).
'tot' becomes 'add' (synonyms).
'men' going around 'add' is 'MADDEN'.

(Other definitions for madden that I've seen before include "Demand (anag)" , "Enrage, make furious" , "Inflame or enrage" , "Make very angry, even insane (6)" , "Become extremely angry" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
