Crossword Genius

Folder about elderly (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

old

'elderly' is the definition.
(similar in meaning)

'folder about' is the wordplay.
'about' indicates a hidden word (the clue goes around or about the answer).
'OLD' is hidden within 'folder'.

(Other definitions for old that I've seen before include "Wild clematis" , "Elderly" , "Obsolete" , "Vintage" , "Ancient" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
