Resentment in summit discussed (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

pique

'resentment' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'summit discussed' is the wordplay.
'summit' becomes 'peak' ('peak' can be a synonym of 'summit').
'discussed' shows a homophone (sound like).
'peak' is a homophone of 'PIQUE'.

'in' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for pique that I've seen before include "Umbrage; irritation" , "Petulant anger" , "Stimulate (one's curiosity)" , "Animosity" , "Equip (anag.)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
