Left stranded (8)

Ross

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" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
