Sighing word (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

alas

'sighing word' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for alas that I've seen before include "woebegone expression" , "Oh dear!" , "Lackaday" , "Cry of grief" , "Antipodean island state" .)

I've seen this clue in The Wall Street Journal.
