Worry in West exploded (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

stew

'worry' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'west exploded' is the wordplay.
'exploded' is an anagram indicator.
'west' anagrammed gives 'STEW'.

'in' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for stew that I've seen before include "Casserole" , "Cook by simmering slowly" , "Dish of meat and vegetables cooked slowly in liquid" , "Agitation caused by worry" , "Ragout or burgoo" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
