Blimp maybe one caught by wind condition (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

colic

'wind condition' is the definition.
(pain caused by wind in a baby)

'blimp maybe one caught by' is the wordplay.
'blimp maybe' becomes 'col' (cartoon character Colonel Blimp ).
'one' becomes 'i' (Roman numeral).
'caught' becomes 'c' (cricket abbreviation).
'by' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'col'+'i'+'c'='COLIC'

(Other definitions for colic that I've seen before include "Intestinal infection" , "Abdominal spasm" , "Severe stomach pain" , "Gastric pain" , "gut reaction" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
