Shook when flustered (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

rattled

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'shook' is the first definition.
(rattling is a kind of shaking)

'flustered' is the second definition.
(I know that flustered can be written as rattled)

'when' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for rattled that I've seen before include "Made a series of clattering sounds" , "what pit viper did" , "Extremely disconcerted" , "Shaken" , "Hot and bothered, perturbed" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
