Looking very bad — time for second retreat? (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

hideout

'retreat?' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

I can't explain the remainder of the clue.

(Other definitions for hideout that I've seen before include "sanctuary" , "Place to lie low" , "den" , "retreat" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
