Wasn't well (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

'wasn't well' is the definition.
(to ail is to be ill)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for ailed that I've seen before include "Troubled" , "Delia (anag.)" , "was on the blink?" , "Didn't feel well" , "was giving trouble" .)

I've seen this clue in The Washington Post, the Canadiana, the King Feature Syndicate, The Wall Street Journal, the USA Today, The Mirror and The New York Times.
