The lady wandering, so very pale? (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

deathly

'so very pale?' is the definition.
(deathly pale means extremely pale)

'the lady wandering' is the wordplay.
'wandering' indicates an anagram.
'the'+'lady'='thelady'
'thelady' is an anagram of 'DEATHLY'.

(Other definitions for deathly that I've seen before include "Cadaverous" , "Extremely pale" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
