Salted nuts didn't run out (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

lasted

'didn't run out' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'salted nuts' is the wordplay.
'nuts' is an anagram indicator (nuts can mean crazy).
'salted' with letters rearranged gives 'LASTED'.

(Other definitions for lasted that I've seen before include "Persisted, endured" , "Continued, being salted" , "Kept going" , "Continued for some time, endured" , "Endured, survived" .)
