Afflicts (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ails

'afflicts' is the definition.
('ail' can be a synonym of 'afflict')

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for ails that I've seen before include "Is unwell - sail away" , "Feels unwell" , "Is sick" , "Troubles; afflicts" , "Is ill or uneasy - sail away" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror, the Evening Standard and the LA Times.
