Blue dye obtained from a flowering plant by the ancient Britons (4)

I believe the answer is:

woad

(Other definitions for woad that I've seen before include "Old British blue dye" , "Plant yielding blue dye" , "Dye used by ancient Britons" , "Colouring" , "Blue dyestuff" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
