Home where criminal dropped in (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

villa

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'home' is the definition.
(I know that villa is a type of country house)

I can't explain the remainder of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for villa that I've seen before include "Aston ..., English Premier League club" , "Country house (in Aston?)" , "Midlands football team" , "Roman domicile" , "Country house in Italy or France" .)
