Anxiety with boy's accent (6,4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

stress mark

'accent' is the definition.
(stress mark is a kind of accent)

'anxiety with boy's' is the wordplay.
'anxiety' becomes 'stress' (anxiety is stress or tension).
'with' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'boy' becomes 'mark' ().
'stress'+'mark'='STRESS-MARK'

(Another definition for stress mark that I've seen is " It helps one to pronounce".)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
