Left stranded (8)
I believe the answer is:
marooned
'left stranded' is the definition.
('maroon' can be a synonym of 'leave stranded')
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for marooned that I've seen before include "Me on road (anag.)" , "Abandoned on island" , "Left stranded with little hope of rescue" , "Abandoned like Robinson Crusoe" , "Left high and dry" .)
