Look fiercely regal somehow (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

glare

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

'look fiercely' is the definition.
'glare' can be an answer for 'look' (I have seen 'Angry look ' mean 'glare' so perhaps 'look' could also mean 'glare'). I'm not sure about the 'fiercely' bit.

'regal somehow' is the wordplay.
'somehow' indicates anagramming the letters.
'regal' anagrammed gives 'GLARE'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for glare that I've seen before include "Blinding light" , "Glower" , "fierce look" , "Scowl angrily" , "Large (anag.)" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
