Crossword Genius

Abandon pro with rice wine (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

forsake

'abandon' is the definition.
(I know that abandon can be written as forsake)

'pro with rice wine' is the wordplay.
'pro' becomes 'for' (I've seen this in another clue).
'with' says to put letters next to each other.
'rice wine' becomes 'sake' (I've seen this before).
'for'+'sake'='FORSAKE'

(Other definitions for forsake that I've seen before include "'Abandon, desert (7)'" , "Give up" , "Leave in the lurch" , "Abondon or renounce" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
