Offence taken (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

pique

'offence taken' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for pique that I've seen before include "Wound (pride); resentment" , "Resentment; hurt pride" , "Angry resentment" , "Resentment at a slight" , "Petulant anger" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
