'fed up' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are adjectives. Maybe you can see a link between them that I don't see?

'loudspeaker leaving tense editor' is the wordplay.
'loudspeaker' becomes 'tannoy' (tannoy is a kind of loudspeaker).
'leaving' suggests deleting specific letters.
'tense' becomes 't' (abbreviation used in many dictionaries).
'editor' becomes 'ed' (abbreviation).
'tannoy' with 't' taken out is 'annoy'.
