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 New York Times, the USA Today, The Mirror, The Washington Post, the Canadiana, the Wall Street Journal and the King Feature Syndicate.
