Dragon roaming about for all to see, stranded (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

aground

'stranded' is the definition.
('aground' can be similar in meaning to 'stranded')

'dragon roaming about for all to see' is the wordplay.
'roaming' indicates anagramming the letters.
'about' indicates putting letters inside.
'for all to see' becomes 'u' (universal dvd certificate).
'dragon' is an anagram of 'agrond'.
'agrond' placed around 'u' is 'AGROUND'.

(Other definitions for aground that I've seen before include "on the bed" , "out of water" , "on rocks, perhaps" , "Unable to move" , "having hit rock bottom, perhaps" .)
