Wasn't well (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

'wasn't well' is the definition.
(to ail is to be ill)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for ailed that I've seen before include "Troubled" , "Delia (anag.)" , "was on the blink?" , "Didn't feel well" , "was giving trouble" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror, the King Feature Syndicate, The New York Times, The Washington Post, the USA Today, the Wall Street Journal and the Canadiana.
