Deprived child - no harp ordered (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

orphan

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'deprived child' is the definition.
'orphan' can be an answer for 'child' (orphan is a kind of child). I am not sure about the 'deprived' bit.

'no harp ordered' is the wordplay.
'ordered' indicates an anagram.
'no'+'harp'='noharp'
'noharp' anagrammed gives 'ORPHAN'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for orphan that I've seen before include "Child who has lost both parents" , "One who has lost both parents" , "One bereft of parents" , "One deprived" , "Child without parent" .)
