Platform said to have upset extremists (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

dais

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'platform' is the definition.
(dais is a kind of platform)

'said to have upset extremists' is the wordplay.
'said' anagrams to 'DAIS'.
However, I am unsure how this is indicated.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for dais that I've seen before include "Said to be a low platform" , "Speaker's raised platform" , "Throne platform" , "support for speaker" , "stands on this?" .)
