Crossword Genius

Dismissed when not at home? (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

out

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'dismissed' is the first definition.
(dismissed in cricket)

'not at home?' is the second definition.
(out can mean away from home)

'when' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for out that I've seen before include "Revealed; unconscious" , "what batsman doesn't want to be" , "In error" , "At fault - dismissed" , "in the shops" .)
