Stand delay (5)
I believe the answer is:
stall
I believe this clue is a double definition.
'stand' is the first definition.
(I know that stand can be written as stall)
'delay' is the second definition.
(I know that stall is a more specific form of the action delay)
(Other definitions for stall that I've seen before include "Come to a halt" , "Animal compartment" , "A stand in a market-place" , "Kiosk" , "Put off" .)
