Saint gets everything to come to a standstill (5)
I believe the answer is:
stall
'come to a standstill' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'saint gets everything' is the wordplay.
'saint' becomes 'st' (abbreviation).
'gets' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'everything' becomes 'all' (all things).
'st'+'all'='STALL'
'to' is the link.
(Other definitions for stall that I've seen before include "Be evasive" , "Come to a halt" , "Part of the stable" , "Theatre seat" , "Play for time" .)
