Five with chills and fever and it’s indefinite (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

vague

'it's indefinite' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'five with chills and fever' is the wordplay.
'five' becomes 'V' (Roman numeral).
'with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'chills and fever' becomes 'ague' (I've seen this before).
'v'+'ague'='VAGUE'

'and' is the link.

(Other definitions for vague that I've seen before include "Obscure, undefined" , "Indistinct or imprecise" , "Unclearly defined" , "Unclear" , "Not clearly expressed, woolly" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
