Crossword Genius

Unfit meal aroused rage (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

fulminate

'rage' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'unfit meal aroused' is the wordplay.
'aroused' is an anagram indicator (letters roused or stirred up into a new form).
'unfit'+'meal'='unfitmeal'
'unfitmeal' with letters rearranged gives 'FULMINATE'.

(Other definitions for fulminate that I've seen before include "Protest loudly and bitterly" , "Explode with anger, criticism" , "Rail" , "blow out" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times and The Sunday Times.
