Cry of pity

Ross

I believe the answer is:

alas

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

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for alas that I've seen before include "Expression of grief or misfortune" , "Unhappily" , "Oh dear!" , "-- and alack!" , "Cry of woe" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
