Crossword Genius

Cross Rita tried moving (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

irritated

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

'rita tried moving' is the wordplay.
'moving' indicates an anagram.
'rita'+'tried'='ritatried'
'ritatried' with letters rearranged gives 'IRRITATED'.

(Other definitions for irritated that I've seen before include "Stimulated" , "Irked" , "Annoyed" , "Cross" , "Vexed" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
