Weary of directors, say (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

bored

'weary' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'directors say' is the wordplay.
'directors' becomes 'board' (I've seen this before).
'say' shows a homophone (sound like).
'board' sounds like 'BORED'.

'of' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for bored that I've seen before include "Used drill on" , "Fed up - tired of the world" , "Drilled; wearied" , "Feeling weary and uninterested" , "Drilled; fed up" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
