Dropped on a bed and massaged (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

abandoned

'dropped' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'on a bed and massaged' is the wordplay.
'massaged' indicates an anagram (I've seen 'massaging' mean this ('massage' can mean to manipulate or distort)).
'on'+'a'+'bed'+'and'='onabedand'
'onabedand' anagrammed gives 'ABANDONED'.

(Other definitions for abandoned that I've seen before include "Given up?" , "lacking in self-control" , "Obsolete" , "Forsook, left behind" , "Dropped" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
