A passage from Paisley (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

aisle

'a passage' is the definition.
(aisle is a kind of passage)

'from paisley' is the wordplay.
'from' indicates a hidden word.
'AISLE' can be found hidden inside 'paisley'.

(Other definitions for aisle that I've seen before include "Corridor" , "Passage between seating blocks" , "way to the altar?" , "way for prospective union members?" , "Supermarket passageway" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
