Teacher last to leave, having finished (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

done

'finished' is the definition.
('done' can be similar in meaning to 'finished')

'teacher last to leave' is the wordplay.
'teacher' becomes 'don' (don is a kind of teacher**).
'last to' says to take the final letters.
The final letter of 'leave' is 'e'.
'don'+'e'='DONE'

'having' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for done that I've seen before include "Performed" , "This settled" , "Tricked" , "agreed" , "Cooked; carried out" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
