Article on diocese making you fume (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

seethe

'fume' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'article on diocese' is the wordplay.
'article' becomes 'the' (the definite article).
'on' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'diocese' becomes 'see' (I've seen this in another clue).
'the' put after 'see' is 'SEETHE'.

'making you' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for seethe that I've seen before include "Bubble away" , "Boil or become very angry" , "froth" , "Bubble, almost boil" , "be incensed" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
