Left late (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

departed

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'left' is the first definition.
('depart' can be a synonym of 'leave')

'late' is the second definition.
(I've seen this before)

(Other definitions for departed that I've seen before include "Went - dead" , "Quit" , "Dead; set off" , "Left, went away" , "completely breathless" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
