Loss of hope (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

despair

'loss of hope' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for despair that I've seen before include "State of having lost all hope" , "Despond" , "Be without hope" , "The feeling that nothing will turn out well" , "Abandon hope" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian, the Sydney Morning Herald, The Times and the Evening Standard.
