Lack; non-existence (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

absence

This clue is a double definition.

'lack' is the first definition.
(I know that absence is a type of lack)

'non-existence' is the second definition.
(I know that non-existence can be written as absence)

(Other definitions for absence that I've seen before include "Truancy" , "Need" , "Lack - it makes the heart grow fonder" , "Non-presence" , "Abstraction" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
