Ross

I believe the answer is:

alee

'opposite of aweather to a sailor' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for alee that I've seen before include "On ship's sheltered side" , "On the sheltered side (of a ship)" , "Nautical term" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
