Not right to occupy village (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ill

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'not right' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are adjectives. Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'occupy village' is the wordplay.
'occupy' indicates a hidden word (I've seen 'occupying' mean this (letters for the answer occupy part of the clue)).
'ILL' is hidden in the letters of 'village'.

'to' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for ill that I've seen before include "Evil or sick" , "Not well, sick" , "Out of sorts" , "Wicked" , "Dicky" .)
