Common ailment (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

flu

'common ailment' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for flu that I've seen before include "Common annual illness" , "Common disease" , "Winter disease, awfully avian" , "Common infection" , "Infection reduced" .)

I've seen this clue in the Penny Press and The Times.
