Without compromise, quietly fleeing, being wan with love (3-2-7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

all-or-nothing

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

'without compromise quietly fleeing' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'wan with love' is the wordplay.
'wan with' becomes 'allor' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'love' becomes 'nothing' (love means zero in tennis).
'allor'+'nothing'='ALL-OR-NOTHING'

'being' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for all-or-nothing that I've seen before include "Choice of extremes" , "(That must be taken) completely or not at all" , "To be attempted regardless of failure" , "With no compromise acceptable" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
