This clue might be a double definition.

'put off going' is the first definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't see how one could define the other.

'watch possibly?' is the second definition.
The definition and answer can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'on' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?
