Not willing to be ill (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

indisposed

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

'be ill' is the definition.
('indisposed' can be similar in meaning to 'ill')

'not willing' is the wordplay.
'not' becomes 'in' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'willing' becomes 'disposed' ('disposed' can be similar in meaning to 'willing').
'in'+'disposed'='INDISPOSED'

'to' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for indisposed that I've seen before include "Slightly unwell" , "Poorly" , "Out of sorts" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
