Abandoned cider let out (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

derelict

'abandoned' is the definition.
(I know that abandoned can be written as derelict)

'cider let out' is the wordplay.
'out' is an anagram indicator (out can mean wrong or inaccurate).
'cider'+'let'='ciderlet'
'ciderlet' anagrammed gives 'DERELICT'.

(Other definitions for derelict that I've seen before include "Fallen into ruin" , "Dosser" , "Deserted - vagrant" , "Tramp" , "In a state of neglect" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
