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