Incense in a funny green container (6)

I believe the answer is:

enrage

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

'incense' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'in a funny green container' is the wordplay.
'in' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'a funny' indicates anagramming the letters.
'container' becomes 'a' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'green' with letters rearranged gives 'enrge'.
'enrge' placed around 'a' is 'ENRAGE'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for enrage that I've seen before include "put people's back up" , "French revolutionary group" , "Make wild" , "Revolutionary group in Paris" , "get annoyed" .)
