Outrage as a Guardian setter's reported (5)
I believe the answer is:
appal
'outrage' is the definition.
(I know that outrage can be written as appal)
I can't explain the rest of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for appal that I've seen before include "Outrage" , "exhibiting dismay" , "Disgust" , "Cause to be unpleasantly surprised" , "Petrify" .)
