Destroy (4)

Ross

'destroy' is the definition.
(I know that ruin is a more specific form of desolate)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for ruin that I've seen before include "Destroy or bankrupt" , "financial disaster" , "Destroy completely" , "financial hardship" , "Reduce to bankruptcy" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sunday Times, the King Feature Syndicate, the LA Times, The Times, The Sun, The Mirror, the Evening Standard, The Star Tribune, The Independent and The Telegraph.
