Give up; desert (7)

I believe the answer is:

abandon

This clue is a double definition.

'give up' is the first definition.
(synonyms)

'desert' is the second definition.
(synonyms)

(Other definitions for abandon that I've seen before include "Stop" , "Desert; intemperance" , "Junk" , "Desert, strand" , "Desert or yield without restraint" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
