A person with little energy in home? (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

abode

'home?' is the definition.
(home is a kind of abode)

'a person with little energy' is the wordplay.
'person' becomes 'bod' (I've seen this in other clues**).
'with' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'little' suggests taking the first letters.
The initial letter of 'energy' is 'e'.
'a'+'bod'+'e'='ABODE'

'in' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for abode that I've seen before include "Place of residence" , "Dwelling, residence" , "Home or domicile" , "Archaic dwelling place" , "stay" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
