Content of this obituary makes one weep (3)

I believe the answer is:

sob

'one weep' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'content of this obituary makes' is the wordplay.
'content of' indicates a hidden word.
'SOB' is hidden within 'this obituary makes'.

(Other definitions for sob that I've seen before include "making one gasp" , "Contemptible person in North America briefly" , "Insulting expression, initially" , "Weep convulsively" , "Snivel" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
