Unsettles when rage ends in confusion (8)
I believe the answer is:
deranges
'unsettles' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both to do with human feelings as well as being verbs in their -s form.
Maybe there's a link between them I don't understand?
'rage ends in confusion' is the wordplay.
'in confusion' is an anagram indicator.
'rage'+'ends'='rageends'
'rageends' anagrammed gives 'DERANGES'.
'when' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Irish Independent.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
