Desert street (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

strand

This clue is a double definition.

'desert' is the first definition.
(I know that strand is a more specific form of the action desert)

'street' is the second definition.
(I know that Strand is a street)

(Other definitions for strand that I've seen before include "Leave helpless - single thread" , "Lock of hair" , "Leave helpless - London street" , "Leave aground -- length of thread" , "Drive (ship) aground" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Independent.
