A passage from Paisley (5)

I believe the answer is:

aisle

'a passage' is the definition.
(aisle can mean a path or passageway)

'from paisley' is the wordplay.
'from' says the answer is hidden in the clue.
'AISLE' is hidden within 'paisley'.

(Other definitions for aisle that I've seen before include "Corridor" , "Passage between seating blocks" , "way to the altar?" , "way for prospective union members?" , "Supermarket passageway" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
