Rashly come out, getting weepy (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

lachrymose

'weepy' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'rashly come out' is the wordplay.
'out' indicates anagramming the letters (out can mean wrong or inaccurate).
'rashly'+'come'='rashlycome'
'rashlycome' with letters rearranged gives 'LACHRYMOSE'.

'getting' is the link.

(Other definitions for lachrymose that I've seen before include "In bits" , "Weepy" , "This is given to crying" , "Sad" , "Tearful (literary)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
