Irritated, irked (7)

Ross

I think it could be either:

rankled

annoyed

I believe this is a double definition.

'irritated' is the first definition.
(I know that irritated can be written as annoyed)

'irked' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)

(Other definitions for annoyed that I've seen before include "put out" , "Cross" , "Displeased" , "'Irritated, impatient (7)'" , "Vexed, irritated" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times and The Times.
