Infuriates English tabloid in three different ways (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

enrages

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

'infuriates' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'english tabloid in three different ways' is the wordplay.
'english' becomes 'E' (abbreviation).
'tabloid' becomes 'rag' (informal term for a tabloid newspaper).
'in' is an insertion indicator.
'three different ways' becomes 'nes' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'rag' going into 'nes' is 'nrages'.
'e'+'nrages'='ENRAGES'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for enrages that I've seen before include "Incenses" , "Works up" , "Makes violently angry" , "Makes furious" , "As green changes it makes one angry" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
