Unjust in the Orient to leave sailor with the Parisian (11)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

inequitable

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'unjust' is the definition.
('inequitable' can be similar in meaning to 'unjust')

'in the orient to leave sailor with the parisian' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'in' is within the answer.
'orient' could be 'e' and 'e' is found in the answer.
'leave' could be 'quit' (quitting is a kind of leaving) and 'quit' is present in the answer.
'sailor' could be 'ab' (abbreviation for able seaman) and 'ab' is located in the answer.
'the parisian' could be 'le' (definite article in French) and 'le' is found within the answer.
This accounts for all the letters.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
