Abandon in the Gobi, say (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

desert

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'abandon' is the first definition.
(desert can mean to leave or abandon)

'the gobi say' is the second definition.
(gobi is a kind of desert)

'in' is the link.

(Other definitions for desert that I've seen before include "barren tract" , "Abscond from forces" , "Run away; desolate area" , "Abandon in wasteland" , "ditch" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express and The Mirror.
