Outrageous sort of animus (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

infamous

'outrageous' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'sort of animus' is the wordplay.
'sort' indicates anagramming the letters.
'of'+'animus'='ofanimus'
'ofanimus' anagrammed gives 'INFAMOUS'.

(Other definitions for infamous that I've seen before include "Disreputable" , "Morally bad, shocking" , "Notorious, having evil reputation" , "Of evil repute" , "Dishonourable" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
