Space completely empty of matter (6)

I believe the answer is:

vacuum

(Other definitions for vacuum that I've seen before include "Clean" , "Nature is said to abhor this empty space" , "Space empty of matter" , "There's nothing in it" , "Nature abhors one" .)

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