Members hope everything will annoy (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

peeve

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

'annoy' is the definition.
(I know that peeve is a more specific form of annoy)

'members hope everything' is the wordplay.
'PEEVE' is hidden in amongst the letters.
However, I'm unsure how the hidden word is indicated.

'will' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for peeve that I've seen before include "upset" , "bug" , "Get annoyed" , "Cause resentment" , "Intensely annoy" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
