Anxious, tense (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

nervy

I believe this is a double definition.

'anxious' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)

'tense' is the second definition.
(similar in meaning)

(Other definitions for nervy that I've seen before include "Fidgety" , "close to the edge?" , "Excitable" , "Highly-strung" , "Easily agitated, tense" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
