Mother got up furious (3)
I believe the answer is:
mad
'furious' is the definition.
(I've seen this in other clues)
'mother got up' is the wordplay.
'mother' becomes 'dam' (female parent of an animal).
'got up' is a reversal indicator.
'dam' in reverse letter order is 'MAD'.
(Other definitions for mad that I've seen before include "Idiotic" , "abandoned" , "lunatic" , "Crackers" , "like the March Hare" .)
