...with awfully tedious exterior (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

outside

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'exterior' is the definition.
(I know that exterior can be written as outside)

'with awfully tedious' is the wordplay.
'tedious' anagrams to 'OUTSIDE'.
But, I am not sure how the anagram is indicated.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for outside that I've seen before include "Tedious (anag)" , "Unlikely" , "Without" , "In the fresh air?" , "Exterior" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Independent.
