It's not right to be abandoned (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

left

I believe this is a double definition.

'it's not right' is the first definition.
('left' is the opposite to 'right')

'be abandoned' is the second definition.
(leave can mean to abandon)

'to' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for left that I've seen before include "The sinister side" , "It's not right" , "choice at a junction?" , "Departed, went away" , "political group" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail and The Irish News.
