Primary ABC is revised (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

basic

'primary' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'abc is revised' is the wordplay.
'revised' is an anagram indicator.
'abc'+'is'='abcis'
'abcis' is an anagram of 'BASIC'.

(Other definitions for basic that I've seen before include "Plain" , "Elementary - without extras" , "Fundamental instruction's" , "Without frills" , "Fundamental; alkaline" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun and The Independent.
