risible

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

'anger gripping little brother or sister' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'little' could be 'l' (abbreviation) and 'l' is found in the answer.
'brother' could be 'sib' (short for sibling) and 'sib' is found in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?
