Crossword Genius

Annoyed being listened to secretly (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

bugged

This clue is a double definition.

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

'listened to secretly' is the second definition.
(bugging is covertly recording someone)

'being' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for bugged that I've seen before include "Fitted with illegal listening or recording device" , "Softly glowing" , "Of room, fitted with secret microphones" , "Irritated; planted concealed microphones" , "Fitted with hidden microphone for eavesdropping" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
