Irritated to get right deli wrong (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

riled

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

'right deli wrong' is the wordplay.
'right' becomes 'r' (common abbreviation).
'wrong' is an anagram indicator.
'deli' anagrammed gives 'iled'.
'r'+'iled'='RILED'

'to get' is the link.

(Other definitions for riled that I've seen before include "Irritated, provoked" , "Made angry" , "get angry" , "Vexed" , "Cross" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
