Tense, ill at ease (2,4)

Ross

I think it could be either:

Which length description are you looking for?:

6

2,4

on edge

I believe this is a double definition.

'tense' is the first definition.
(on edge can mean tense or stressed)

'ill at ease' is the second definition.
(both can mean nervous)

(Other definitions for on edge that I've seen before include "Apprehensive" , "Nervously excited" , "Cliff-top walker may be" , "Anxious, nervy" , "Highly strung" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
