Calm and collected when out of control? (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

cool

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

This clue could be a double definition.

'calm and collected' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)

'out of control?' is the second definition.
'cool' can be an answer for 'control?' (thesaurus). I'm unsure of the 'out of' bit.

'when' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for cool that I've seen before include "Quite cold" , "Moderate" , "Chilled" , "Not hot or warm - just unexcited" , "Unemotional; excellent" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
