Seemingly sickly, seen from a new angle (3)

I believe the answer is:

wan

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

'seemingly sickly' is the definition.
'wan' can be an answer for 'sickly' (I've seen this in another clue). I'm not certain of the 'seemingly' bit.

'from a new angle' is the wordplay.
'from' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'WAN' can be found hidden inside 'new angle'.

'seen' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for wan that I've seen before include "Faint" , "Wheyfaced" , "Pale as from illness" , "Looking pale and sickly" , "Pale and peaky" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
