Achilles to an extent unwell (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ill

'unwell' is the definition.
(similar in meaning)

'achilles to an extent' is the wordplay.
'to an extent' indicates a hidden word.
'ILL' can be found hidden inside 'achilles'.

(Other definitions for ill that I've seen before include "weak" , "Out of sorts" , "trouble" , "Green round the gills" , "Not in good health" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
