Fellow leaves capital £1,000 pine (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

long

'pine' is the definition.
(to pine for something is to long for it)

I don't understand the remainder of the clue.

(Other definitions for long that I've seen before include "Protracted" , "Sustained" , "Extensive - pine" , "Thus having been treated by stretcher, perhaps" , "die" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
