On edge, having been removed from the bench? (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

unsettled

I believe this is a double definition.

'on edge' is the first definition.
(both can mean disturbed or stressed)

'having been removed from the bench?' is the second definition.
(removed from a settle, a type of bench)

(Other definitions for unsettled that I've seen before include "Changeable" , "outstanding" , "Still to confirm" , "(Of weather) lacking stability" , "Disturbed" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
