Crossword Genius

Pair upset by most woe (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

twosome

'pair' is the definition.
(twosome is a kind of pair)

'upset by most woe' is the wordplay.
'upset by' indicates anagramming the letters.
'most'+'woe'='mostwoe'
'mostwoe' anagrammed gives 'TWOSOME'.

(Other definitions for twosome that I've seen before include "match" , "Couple" , "Item" , "Pair, duo" , "game of golf" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
