Crossword Genius

Have nothing to do with hermit-style holiday? (5,5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

leave alone

'have nothing to do with' is the definition.

I don't understand the rest of the clue.

(Other definitions for leave alone that I've seen before include "Abandon" , "Do not disturb" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
