It's any made-up reason (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sanity

'reason' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'it's any made-up' is the wordplay.
'made up' is an anagram indicator.
'its'+'any'='itsany'
'itsany' is an anagram of 'SANITY'.

(Other definitions for sanity that I've seen before include "Stay in (anag.)" , "Soundness of mind" , "Condition of having a sound mind" , "Mental normality" , "Sound powers of mind" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
