Crossword Genius

Aged fool definitely has it (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

old

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

'fool definitely has it' is the wordplay.
'has it' indicates a hidden word.
'OLD' is hidden in the letters of 'fool definitely'.

(Other definitions for old that I've seen before include "out of the ark" , "SECOND PART OF 14" , "Long in the tooth" , "Wild clematis" , "Former, previous" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
