'Hacked Off' copy has page missing (5)
I believe the answer is:
irate
'hacked off' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
I don't understand how the remainder of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for irate that I've seen before include "Wild" , "become irritated" , "Cross, irritated" , "having got in wax" , "Not happy" .)
