Delicate, hanging around for one bequest (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

legacy

'bequest' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'delicate hanging around for one' is the wordplay.
'delicate' becomes 'lacy' (I've seen this in another clue).
'hanging around' is an insertion indicator.
'for one' becomes 'eg' (both can mean 'for example').
'lacy' enclosing 'eg' is 'LEGACY'.

(Other definitions for legacy that I've seen before include "Money left" , "Something handed down" , "A bequest, something left in a will" , "Birthright" , "What is left to one in will" .)
