Anger of one put in the shade (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

wraith

'the shade' is the definition.
('wraith' can be a synonym of 'shade')

'anger of one put in' is the wordplay.
'anger' becomes 'wrath' (wrath is a kind of anger).
'of one' becomes 'i' (I've seen this in other clues).
'put in' indicates putting letters inside.
'wrath' enclosing 'i' is 'WRAITH'.

(Other definitions for wraith that I've seen before include "'Ghost, spectre (6)'" , "Ghost, spectral apparition" , "looking pale and thin" , "Making an emotional appeal" , "Ghostly apparition" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
