Forsaken, cast off (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

abandoned

I believe this is a double definition.

'forsaken' is the first definition.
('abandon' can be a synonym of 'forsake')

'cast off' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)

(Other definitions for abandoned that I've seen before include "No longer inhabited and left desolate" , "Left in the lurch, forsaken" , "Deserted - shameless" , "Unrestrained" , "Gave up - left - being completely irresponsible" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
