Abandoned skate at end of street (5)
I believe the answer is:
stray
'abandoned' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'skate at end of street' is the wordplay.
'skate' becomes 'ray' (I've seen this before).
'at end of' says to put letters next to each other.
'street' becomes 'st'.
'ray' put after 'st' is 'STRAY'.
(Other definitions for stray that I've seen before include "Wander; be unfaithful" , "Wander off course" , "Depart from the right path" , "digress" , "Go off course" .)
