Harassed professional, very fine editor (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

provoked

'harassed' is the definition.
('provoke' can be a synonym of 'harass')

'professional very fine editor' is the wordplay.
'professional' becomes 'pro' ('pro' can be a synonym of 'professional').
'very' becomes 'v' (abbreviation).
'fine' becomes 'ok' ('OK' can be a synonym of 'fine').
'editor' becomes 'ed'.
'pro'+'v'+'ok'+'ed'='PROVOKED'

(Another definition for provoked that I've seen is " Incensed, caused".)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
