Dumped because of being licentious? (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

abandoned

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'dumped' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)

'being licentious?' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)

'because of' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for abandoned that I've seen before include "marooned" , "Gave up - left - being completely irresponsible" , "Forsook, left behind" , "Dropped" , "Deserted; uninhibited" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
