One about to reveal anger (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ire

'anger' is the definition.
(ire is intense rage)

'one about' is the wordplay.
'one' becomes 'i' (Roman numeral).
'about' becomes 're' ('re' means regarding or about).
'i'+'re'='IRE'

'to reveal' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for ire that I've seen before include "Hot temper" , "Irritation, anger" , "Fury" , "passion" , "exasperation" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
