Puzzles like this one not half making you angry (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

cross

'angry' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'puzzles like this one not half' is the wordplay.
'puzzles like this one' becomes 'crosswords' (the puzzle you are doing is a crossword).
'not half' indicates taking half.
'crosswords' halved is 'CROSS'.

'making you' is the link.

(Other definitions for cross that I've seen before include "Crucifix" , "Peeved" , "X" , "Thwart, oppose" , "Annoyed; symbol" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
