Apt anagram of "vile" (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

evil

'apt anagram of vile' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for evil that I've seen before include "Malignant" , "Very wicked or bad" , "Excellent" , "Morally objectionable behavior" , "Live kind of badness" .)

I've seen this clue in the Universal, the USA Today and The New York Times.
