Vicar’s boy not feeling too good, apparently (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

parson

'vicar's' is the definition.
(both are members of the clergy)

I cannot understand how the remainder of the clue works.

(Other definitions for parson that I've seen before include "One with benefice" , "Rector; clergyman" , "A rector or vicar" , "man of the church" , "Minister of religion" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
