Where Parisians are two thirds poorly? (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

orly

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'where parisians' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

'two thirds poorly?' is the wordplay.
'ORLY' is hidden in amongst the letters.
However, I am not sure how the hidden word is indicated.

'are' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for orly that I've seen before include "Paris airport" , "Parisian airport" , "French airport" .)
