Inflame feelings and get one worried (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

agitate

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'inflame' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'feelings and get one worried' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'one' could be 'i' (Roman numeral) and 'i' is located in the answer.
'worried' could be 'ate' (something worrying may eat someone up) and 'ate' is present in the answer.
The remaining letters 'agt' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for agitate that I've seen before include "cause trouble" , "Make nervous; stir" , "rock" , "Upset, disturb the surface of" , "Get upset" .)
