oenone

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'person paris no longer nurtured' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'old english with zero support?' is the wordplay.
'old' becomes 'o' (common abbreviation eg in OE for Old English).
'english' becomes 'e' (abbreviation).
'with' says to put letters next to each other.
'zero' becomes 'none' (I've seen this before).
'support?' says to put letters next to each other (in a down clue, some letters hold others up).
'o'+'e'+'none'='OENONE'

Can you help me to learn more?
