'angry' is the definition.
The answer and definition are different parts of speech. However, past participle verbs and adjectives can occasionally mean the same thing.

'pip kidnapping queen' is the wordplay.
'pip' becomes 'seed' (I've seen this before).
'kidnapping' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'queen' becomes 'ER' (short for Elizabeth Regina ie Queen Elizabeth).
'seed' enclosing 'er' is 'SEERED'.

'get' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for seered that I've seen is " Grow furious".)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
