Some newsagents look tired (3)

I believe the answer is:

sag

'look tired' is the definition.

'some newsagents' is the wordplay.
'some' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue (some of the parts of the word are used).
'SAG' can be found hidden inside 'newsagents'.

(Other definitions for sag that I've seen before include "Hang down loosely" , "Droop, flag" , "Give in the middle" , "fall" , "Slump" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
