Crossword Genius

Sick of the village (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ill

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

'of the village' is the wordplay.
'of' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'ILL' is hidden in the letters of 'village'.

(Other definitions for ill that I've seen before include "Evil or sick" , "Sickly" , "I will (abbrev.) (1'2)" , "Not in good health" , "In bad health" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
