Least fresh? Not fresh at all (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

stale

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'not fresh at all' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'least fresh?' is the wordplay.
'fresh?' indicates anagramming the letters (a fresh re-ordering of the letters).
'least' is an anagram of 'STALE'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for stale that I've seen before include "Boring" , "no longer bearing interest?" , "Musty - out of date" , "past the sell-by date" , "Musty or hackneyed" .)
