Most provocative side get beaten (7)

I believe the answer is:

edgiest

'most provocative' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'side get beaten' is the wordplay.
'beaten' is an anagram indicator (letters beaten up or destroyed).
'side'+'get'='sideget'
'sideget' anagrammed gives 'EDGIEST'.

(Another definition for edgiest that I've seen is " Most irritable".)

I've seen this clue in The Everyman puzzle in The Observer.
