Endured war, coming out empty-handed (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

unrewarded

'empty-handed' is the definition.
('unrewarded' can be a synonym of 'empty-handed')

'endured war coming out' is the wordplay.
'coming out' is an anagram indicator.
'endured'+'war'='enduredwar'
'enduredwar' is an anagram of 'UNREWARDED'.

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
