Fever (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ague

'fever' is the definition.
(illness causing fever)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for ague that I've seen before include "Acute fever; shivering fit" , "Old word for fever" , "Hot and cold fever" , "Fit of the shakes" , "met with cheek in Twelfth Night" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald, the Evening Standard, The Telegraph, The Times and The Mirror.
