Unsettled, fretful (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

restive

This clue is a double definition.

'unsettled' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)

'fretful' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)

(Other definitions for restive that I've seen before include "Impatient of authority" , "Impatient - jumpy" , "Fidgety, uneasy" , "Unable to keep still" , "It veers around, resisting control" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
