It’s clear anger does exhaust one (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

overtire

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

'exhaust one' is the definition.
'overtire' can be an answer for 'exhaust' (to exhaust is to tire out). I am not sure about the 'one' bit.

'it's clear anger' is the wordplay.
'it's clear' becomes 'overt' (both can mean apparent or obvious).
'anger' becomes 'ire' (ire is intense rage).
'overt'+'ire'='OVERTIRE'

'does' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for overtire that I've seen before include "tax too much" , "Get excessively weary" .)
