Disturbed, bothered (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

troubled

This clue is a double definition.

'disturbed' is the first definition.
(troubling is a kind of disturbing)

'bothered' is the second definition.
('trouble' can be a synonym of 'bother')

(Other definitions for troubled that I've seen before include "Disquieted, upset" , "Caused distress to" , "Bothered, perturbed" , "Bothered, disquieted" , "Anxious" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times and the Irish Times (Simplex).
