Terrible men dad cursed! (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

damned

'cursed' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'terrible men dad' is the wordplay.
'terrible' is an anagram indicator.
'men'+'dad'='mendad'
'mendad' with letters rearranged gives 'DAMNED'.

(Other definitions for damned that I've seen before include "Consigned to hell or perdition" , "Consigned to everlasting punishment" , "Those condemned to eternal punishment" , "Abominable" , "Mad Ned was doomed" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
