State of being neglected (6)
![Ross](/clue/static/ross-mug.min.png)
I believe the answer is:
disuse
(Other definitions for disuse that I've seen before include "Fall into this state to be unemplyed? (6)." , "Neglect; abandonment" , "Neglect; desuetude" , "Issued (anag)" , "State of not being employed" .)
