Scandal to argue about (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

outrage

'scandal' is the definition.
(I know that scandal can be written as outrage)

'to argue about' is the wordplay.
'about' is an anagram indicator.
'to'+'argue'='toargue'
'toargue' is an anagram of 'OUTRAGE'.

(Other definitions for outrage that I've seen before include "Deplorable insult" , "Shock horror!" , "Very angry reaction" , "Barbarity" , "Great anger" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
