Directorial displeasure? (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ire

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

'displeasure?' is the definition.
(displeasure is a kind of ire)

'directorial' is the wordplay.
'IRE' is hidden within the letters.
However, I am not sure how the hidden word is indicated.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for ire that I've seen before include "Paddy" , "heat" , "exasperation" , "Strong feeling" , "passion" .)
