Fury exhibited by abusive he-men? Certainly (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

vehemence

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

'fury' is the definition.
(I know that fury can be written as vehemence)

'exhibited by abusive he-men? certainly' is the wordplay.
'VEHEMENCE' is hidden in amongst the letters.
But, I'm not sure how the hidden word is indicated.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for vehemence that I've seen before include "Passion" , "Forcefulness" , "Expression of forceful feeling" , "Vigour of expression" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
