I believe the answer is:

desert

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">This clue is a double definition.<br/ ><br/ >'<span class="explanation-format__original">strand</span>' is the first definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I know that strand is a more specific form of desert)</span><br/ ><br/ >'<span class="explanation-format__original">maroon</span>' is the second definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(as in to maroon or desert someone on an island)</span><br/ ><br/ ></span>

(Other definitions for desert that I've seen before include "Sahara, Gobi, etc" , "Run away (from army)" , "See 23" , "Abandon, desolate area" , "Arid region with little or no vegetation" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
