Overzealous (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

rabid

'overzealous' is the definition.
(I know that overzealous can be written as rabid)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for rabid that I've seen before include "Violent; hydrophobic" , "Burning" , "Ill from a mad dog bite?" , "Extreme, fanatical" , "Extremely fanatical" .)

I've seen this clue in The Wall Street Journal, The Sun and the Penny Press.
