Very angry in abattoir at Edgware (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

irate

'very angry' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'in abattoir at edgware' is the wordplay.
'in' indicates a hidden word.
'IRATE' is hidden in the letters of 'abattoir at edgware'.

(Other definitions for irate that I've seen before include "having got in wax" , "raging" , "Wild" , "Wrathful" , "Hacked off" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
