Maroon filament (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

strand

I believe this is a double definition.

'maroon' is the first definition.
(as in stranding or marooning someone somewhere)

'filament' is the second definition.
(synonyms)

(Other definitions for strand that I've seen before include "Thread; leave in lurch" , "Shore; single fibre" , "Single hair; drive ashore" , "Thread - London street" , "Drive aground; thread" .)
