Ague (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

fever

'ague' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for fever that I've seen before include "eg Malaria" , "Heat of disease or extreme excitement" , "A rise in the temperature of the body" , "State of heightened excitement" , "Reason for temperature" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror, the Canadiana, The Guardian, the Evening Standard and The Telegraph.
