Sick of villages (3)
I believe the answer is:
ill
'sick' is the definition.
('ill' can be similar in meaning to 'sick')
'of villages' is the wordplay.
'of' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'ILL' is hidden in the letters of 'villages'.
(Other definitions for ill that I've seen before include "weak" , "Badly - in need of medical care" , "Unwell, sick" , "Out of sorts" , "Groggy" .)
