Villagers get sick (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ill

'sick' is the definition.
(I know that sick can be written as ill)

'villagers get' is the wordplay.
'get' says the answer is hidden in the clue (I've seen 'got' mean this).
'ILL' can be found hidden inside 'villagers'.

(Other definitions for ill that I've seen before include "Wicked" , "Where to find Chicago" , "laid up?" , "Green round the gills" , "Indisposed" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
