A passage in Paisley (5)

I believe the answer is:

aisle

'a passage' is the definition.
(aisle can mean a path or passageway)

'in paisley' is the wordplay.
'in' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'AISLE' is hidden in the letters of 'paisley'.

(Other definitions for aisle that I've seen before include "Passage down the side of a church nave" , "Part of a church" , "Way between seating areas" , "The way to get married in church?" , "Extension of the nave in a church" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
