Lie about with Eddy being abandoned (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

yielded

'being abandoned' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'lie about with eddy' is the wordplay.
'about with' is an anagram indicator.
'lie' with its letters mixed up with 'eddy' makes 'YIELDED'.

(Other definitions for yielded that I've seen before include "Relinquished" , "Delivered" , "Capitulated" , "cropped" , "ended resistance" .)

I've seen this clue in The Everyman puzzle in The Observer.
