Peevish state (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

snit

'peevish state' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for snit that I've seen before include "fit of temper" , "State of agitated irritation" , "Sulking" , "American sulks" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times, the L.A. Times Sunday, The Washington Post, The Washington Post Sunday, the King Feature Syndicate and the L.A. Times Daily.
