Abandon bushy area (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

scrub

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'abandon' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)

'bushy area' is the second definition.

(Other definitions for scrub that I've seen before include "Wash the stunted shrub?" , "Vegetation consisting of stunted trees or bushes" , "Abandon" , "Rub hard - low vegetation" , "Scour; cancel" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
