Component of refrigerator men transported gives bother (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

torment

'bother' is the definition.
(tormenting is a kind of bothering)

'component of refrigerator men transported' is the wordplay.
'component of' says the answer is hidden in the clue (I've seen this in other clues).
'TORMENT' is hidden within 'refrigerator men transported'.

'gives' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for torment that I've seen before include "Harry" , "Severe physical or mental suffering" , "Great suffering" , "Tease unkindly" , "Cause mental distress" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
