Way in which Fury raised concern (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

regard

'concern' is the definition.
(I know that regard is a type of concern)

'way in which fury raised' is the wordplay.
'way' becomes 'rd' (short for road).
'in which' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'fury' becomes 'rage' (synonyms).
'raised' says the letters should be written backwards (going up in a down clue).
'rage' reversed gives 'egar'.
'rd' going around 'egar' is 'REGARD'.

(Other definitions for regard that I've seen before include "Look steadily at or consider to be" , "Former gold coin" , "Look - respect" , "Consider; attention" , "given respect" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sunday Times.
