Abscond — wasteland (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

desert

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'abscond' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)

'wasteland' is the second definition.
(I've seen this before)

(Other definitions for desert that I've seen before include "unproductive area" , "part of Africa?" , "Abscond from forces" , "barren tract" , "Run away (from army)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
