Crossword Genius

Fired with rage (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ire

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

'fired with' is the wordplay.
'with' indicates a hidden word.
'IRE' is hidden within 'fired'.

(Other definitions for ire that I've seen before include "Losing head" , "Fury" , "Annoyance, vexation" , "'Anger, wrath (3)'" , "passionate feeling" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
