Swelling, be very angry (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

boil

This clue is a double definition.

'swelling' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)

'be very angry' is the second definition.

(Other definitions for boil that I've seen before include "Cook in hot water" , "Skin swelling; cause to evaporate" , "Bubble up - inflamed swelling" , "let off steam" , "become inflamed" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
