See me on road, wandering around, abandoned (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

marooned

'abandoned' is the definition.
(marooning is a kind of abandoning)

'see me on road wandering around' is the wordplay.
'wandering around' is an anagram indicator (I've seen this in other clues).
'me'+'on'+'road'='meonroad'
'meonroad' is an anagram of 'MAROONED'.

(Other definitions for marooned that I've seen before include "Abandoned like Robinson Crusoe" , "Left high and dry" , "Me on road (anag.)" , "Abandoned on island" , "Left stranded with little hope of rescue" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
