Winter bug (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

flu

'winter bug' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for flu that I've seen before include "Common disease" , "Minor ailment" , "Viral infection (colloq.)" , "In brief, winter illness" , "Influenza, in short" .)

I've seen this clue in the Newsday, the Sydney Morning Herald, the USA Today, the Penny Press, the King Feature Syndicate, the LA Times and The New York Times.
