Abandon virtue (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

desert

This clue is a double definition.

'abandon' is the first definition.
('desert' can be a synonym of 'abandon')

'virtue' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)

(Other definitions for desert that I've seen before include "Sahara or Gobi, say" , "Abandon, desolate area" , "Abandon, waterless area" , "Sweet" , "Callously abandon" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
