Dean lost port (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

aden

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

'dean lost' is the wordplay.
'lost' is an anagram indicator.
'dean' anagrammed gives 'ADEN'.

(Other definitions for aden that I've seen before include "Yemeni port" , "Dean is in the Yemen, strangely" , "Red Sea port" , "Yemeni gulf" , "Main port of Yemen" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
