Crossword Genius

Strong feeling of tiredness (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ire

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

'of tiredness' is the wordplay.
'of' indicates a hidden word.
'IRE' is hidden in the letters of 'tiredness'.

(Other definitions for ire that I've seen before include "Strong feeling" , "Choler" , "Anger among admirers" , "Anger, rage" , "heat" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
