Abandoned, forsook (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

deserted

This clue is a double definition.

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

'forsook' is the second definition.
('desert' can be a synonym of 'forsake')

(Other definitions for deserted that I've seen before include "Illegally left army" , "Ran away from army" , "Empty of people" , "Derelict" , "uncultivated" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
