Crossword Genius

Loose, German and single (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

undone

'loose' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'german and single' is the wordplay.
'german and' becomes 'und'.
'single' becomes 'one' (I've seen this before).
'und'+'one'='UNDONE'

(Other definitions for undone that I've seen before include "Brought to ruin or destruction - or not buttoned" , "Reversed" , "Ruined; not tied" , "Annulled; untied" , "Ruined or dismantled" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
