Left a person unaccompanied (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

lone

'unaccompanied' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'left a person' is the wordplay.
'left' becomes 'l' (common abbreviation).
'a person' becomes 'one' (**).
'l'+'one'='LONE'

(Other definitions for lone that I've seen before include "He likes to operate by himself" , "Unaccompanied" , "Companionless" , "The ... Ranger, fictional masked cowboy" , "Single and isolated" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
