Lazybones is uncommonly riled (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

idler

'lazybones' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'uncommonly riled' is the wordplay.
'uncommonly' indicates an anagram.
'riled' is an anagram of 'IDLER'.

'is' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for idler that I've seen before include "Long doleful cry" , "Man off watch" , "Lounger" , "Layabout, loafer" , "Layabout; ship crewman not on watch" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
