Poor Tom is damp (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

moist

'damp' is the definition.
(I know that damp can be written as moist)

'poor tom is' is the wordplay.
'poor' indicates anagramming the letters.
'tom'+'is'='tomis'
'tomis' is an anagram of 'MOIST'.

(Other definitions for moist that I've seen before include "Slightly wet, damp" , "lubricated" , "Dampish" , "Affected by tears, perhaps" , "sloppy" .)
