Crossword Genius

Old lover, one shown the way and deported (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

exiled

'deported' is the definition.
('exile' can be a synonym of 'deport')

'old lover one shown the way' is the wordplay.
'old lover' becomes 'ex' (I've seen this in other clues).
'one' becomes 'i' (Roman numeral).
'shown the way' becomes 'led' (I've seen this in other clues).
'ex'+'i'+'led'='EXILED'

'and' is the link.

(Other definitions for exiled that I've seen before include "Cast out" , "Banished from homeland" , "Forced to live in another country" , "Sent away" , "Expelled from one's country" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
