'unhappy' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot judge whether this works.

'as trade's bad all round he' is the wordplay.
'bad' indicates an anagram.
'all round' is an insertion indicator.
'as'+'trades'='astrades'
'astrades' is an anagram of 'sdsatear'.
'sdsatear' enclosing 'he' is 'SHEDS A TEAR'.

'is' is the link.
