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