On edge, having been removed from the bench? (9)
I believe the answer is:
unsettled
I believe this is a double definition.
'on edge' is the first definition.
(both can mean disturbed or stressed)
'having been removed from the bench?' is the second definition.
(removed from a settle, a type of bench)
(Other definitions for unsettled that I've seen before include "Changeable" , "outstanding" , "Still to confirm" , "(Of weather) lacking stability" , "Disturbed" .)
