Run away from infertile area (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

desert

This clue is a triple definition!

'run away from' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)

'infertile' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)

'area' is the third definition.
(desert is a kind of area)

(Other definitions for desert that I've seen before include "Walk out on" , "Defect, forsake" , "Wild" , "Kalahari, for example" , "Treacherously abandon" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
