He has a name for getting angry (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

heated

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

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

'he has a name for' is the wordplay.
'has' says to put letters next to each other.
'name for' becomes 'ted' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'he'+'a'+'ted'='HEATED'

'getting' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for heated that I've seen before include "Angry, impassioned" , "This type of argument is passionate" , "Raised the temperature" , "Inflamed with passion" , "Furious" .)
