More annoyed about earring (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

angrier

'more annoyed' is the definition.
(more angry)

'about earring' is the wordplay.
'about' indicates anagramming the letters.
'earring' is an anagram of 'ANGRIER'.

(Other definitions for angrier that I've seen before include "More worked up" , "more outraged" , "Not so calm" , "More furious" , "More irate" .)

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