Parentless child (6)
I believe the answer is:
orphan
<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">parentless child</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I've seen this in another clue)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is all the clue.<br/ ></span>
(Other definitions for orphan that I've seen before include "One without mother or father" , "Child without parents" , "Parentless child" , "Child who has lost both parents" , "Child whose parents are dead" .)
