Illness caused by lack of vitamin C (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

scurvy

(Other definitions for scurvy that I've seen before include "Whoreson" , "Condition caused by a deficiency of vitamin C" , "Disease once associated with poorly-nourished sailors" , "(Of knaves) despicable" , "Condition caused by lack of vitamin C" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
