Wrong to get rude, somehow making one distressed (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tortured

'one distressed' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'wrong to get rude somehow' is the wordplay.
'wrong' becomes 'tort' (legal term**).
'to get' says to put letters next to each other.
'somehow' indicates an anagram.
'rude' is an anagram of 'ured'.
'tort'+'ured'='TORTURED'

'making' is the link.

(Other definitions for tortured that I've seen before include "punished" , "put on rack?" , "distressed" , "Suffering anguish" , "Tormented emotionally or mentally" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
