Crossword Genius

Injured hothead with weapons (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

harmed

'injured' is the definition.
(similar in meaning)

'hothead with weapons' is the wordplay.
'hothead' becomes 'h' (head letter of 'hot').
'with weapons' becomes 'armed' (I've seen this before).
'h'+'armed'='HARMED'

(Other definitions for harmed that I've seen before include "Hurt" , "Injured or damaged" .)
