Violent outcome from Recife (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

fierce

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

'violent' is the definition.
(I know that violent can be written as fierce)

'outcome from recife' is the wordplay.
'recife' can be anagrammed to 'FIERCE'.
Though, I am not sure how the anagram is indicated.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for fierce that I've seen before include "Intensely aggressive" , "Violent and aggressive" , "Barbarous" , "Savagely vehement" , "Cruel or intense" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish News.
