Sad cry (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

alas

'sad cry' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for alas that I've seen before include "Proper, respectable" , "Cry of woe" , "'- Poor Yorick' (Hamlet)" , "Too bad, so sad" , "Lackaday" .)

I've seen this clue in The Star Tribune and the Penny Press.
