"'Tis a pity!” (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

alas

''tis a pity' 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 "Sadly, unfortunately" , "Lackaday" , "More's the pity" , "Expression of regret" , "Expression of grief or misfortune" .)

I've seen this clue in the Newsday.com, the Family Time, the USA Today, The Wall Street Journal and the Universal.
