Piercing wail (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

keen

I believe this is a double definition.

'piercing' is the first definition.
(synonyms)

'wail' is the second definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

(Other definitions for keen that I've seen before include "Diligent" , "Piercing" , "Sharp - lament" , "express sorrow" , "Penetrating; ardent" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
