Unlawfully absent (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

awol

(Other definitions for awol that I've seen before include "Army offence of being missing from duty, briefly" , "Absent without leave (abbr.)" , "'Absent without permission, initially (4)'" , "Take unofficial leave (abbrev.)" , "On the lam" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
