tire

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'show weariness' is the definition.
'tire' can be an answer for 'weariness' (thesaurus). I am unsure of the 'show' bit.

'it wrong again' is the wordplay.
'wrong' indicates anagramming the letters.
'again' becomes 're'.
'it' anagrammed gives 'ti'.
'ti'+'re'='TIRE'

'getting' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for tire that I've seen before include "Grow weary of rite" , "Become fatigued" , "Feel in need of rest" , "Fatigue" , "Become weary" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
