"___ was I ere ..." (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

able

(Other definitions for able that I've seen before include "Clever skilful" , "Having the power, skill or means (to do something)" , "Well-equipped" , "See 10" , "Having great proficiency or intelligence" .)

I've seen this clue in The Washington Post.
