Scattered on the street again with windblown ends (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

strewn

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

'the street again with windblown ends' is the wordplay.
'the street' becomes 'st' (abbreviation).
'again' becomes 're' (prefix meaning 'again').
'with' becomes 'w' (abbreviation).
'ends' suggests the final letters.
The final letter of 'windblown' is 'n'.
'st'+'re'+'w'+'n'='STREWN'

'on' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for strewn that I've seen before include "Scattered over an area" , "Broadcast" , "Distributed" , "Scattered untidily" , "Native of Brittany" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
