Cry of despair (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

alas

'cry of despair' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for alas that I've seen before include "Expression of regret" , "More's the pity" , "Cry of regret" , "What a shame!" , "Exclamation of grief" .)

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