Ill at ease

Is it correct to say:


"He's ill at ease."


If so, does it "he's not t ease at all" or "he's slightly not at ease"?

THANK YOU.

To my ear it's more like 'slightly not at ease'. Not 'completely not at ease'. Basically, it means nervous or uncomfortable, usually in a social situation.
