I believe the answer is:

shed

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

This clue could be a double definition.

'where tools may be left' is the first definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot understand how one could define the other.

'abandoned' is the second definition.
(shed can mean to abandon or cast off)

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for shed that I've seen before include "Discard (something)" , "Separate" , "building away from home" , "Outbuilding for storage" , "Removed in garden hut" .)
