Drilled when at a loose end (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

bored

This clue is a double definition.

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

'at a loose end' is the second definition.

'when' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for bored that I've seen before include "Filled with ennui" , "Palled on" , "Wearied by tedium" , "World-weary" , "Filled with tedium" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
