"How sad!” (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

alas

'how sad' 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 "Sad expression" , "'- Poor Yorick' (Hamlet)" , "Interjection of sorrow" , "Lackaday" , "Proper, respectable" .)

I've seen this clue in the Universal, the Newsday and The Wall Street Journal.
