Crossword Genius

Ruffle caught in chopper turbulence (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

perturb

'ruffle' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'caught in chopper turbulence' is the wordplay.
'caught in' indicates a hidden word.
'PERTURB' can be found hidden inside 'chopper turbulence'.

(Other definitions for perturb that I've seen before include "Disturb the composure of" , "Bother" , "Worry" , "Disconcert" , "Make uneasy or cause to be worried" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
