Moderate anger (6)

I believe the answer is:

temper

I believe this is a double definition.

'moderate' is the first definition.
('temper' can be a synonym of 'moderate')

'anger' is the second definition.
(temper is a kind of anger)

(Other definitions for temper that I've seen before include "Fit of anger - don't lose it" , "State of mind as regards anger (6)" , "Adjust" , "(Calm or furious) disposition" , "Paddy - moderate" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph, the Sydney Morning Herald and The Guardian.
