Dine out and stop being vague (13)

I believe the answer is:

indeterminate

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

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

'dine out and stop' is the wordplay.
'dine out' becomes 'inde' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'and' says to put letters next to each other.
'stop' becomes 'terminate' (synonyms).
'inde'+'terminate'='INDETERMINATE'

'being' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for indeterminate that I've seen before include "Unspecified" , "Not exactly defined" , "uncertain result?" , "Inconclusive" , "Not precisely fixed" .)
