Hopeless case (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

goner

'hopeless case' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for goner that I've seen before include "Person beyond saving" , "one with no future" , "One without hope" , "Someone beyond help" , "without prayer?" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
