Lost cause (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

goner

'lost cause' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for goner that I've seen before include "one with no life left" , "One without hope" , "Doomed person" , "person about to depart" , "One past helping" .)

I've seen this clue in the King Feature Syndicate, the Newsday, The Telegraph, the LA Times and the Universal.
