Crossword Genius

Feel depressed and inferior? (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

below

'inferior?' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'feel depressed' is the wordplay.
'feel' becomes 'be'.
'depressed' becomes 'low' (similar in meaning).
'be'+'low'='BELOW'

'and' is the link.

(Other definitions for below that I've seen before include "Underneath" , "Feel miserable" , "Inferior" , "Later in text" , "Not worthy of" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph, The Guardian and The Globe and Mail.
