Forsaken child (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

waif

'forsaken child' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for waif that I've seen before include "Forsaken child" , "Neglected or orphaned child" , "An unowned or abandoned child" , "Be incongruous" , "Gamin" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian, the LA Times and the L.A. Times Daily.
