Depression associated with member facing endless shame (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

armpit

'depression' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'member facing endless shame' is the wordplay.
'member' becomes 'arm' (member can mean a limb).
'facing' says to put letters next to each other.
'endless' means to remove the last letter.
'shame' becomes 'pity' (synonyms).
'pity' with its final letter removed is 'pit'.
'arm'+'pit'='ARMPIT'

'associated with' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for armpit that I've seen before include "evident given "hands up"!" , "Impart (anag.)" , "(In anatomy) the axilla" , "part of the body" , "Leave" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
