Held up (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

delayed

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">held up</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(similar in meaning)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is the entire clue.<br/ ></span>

(Other definitions for delayed that I've seen before include "Caused to be held up" , "Detained, help up" , "Put back" , "Shelved" , "Deferred, postponed" .)

I've seen this clue in the King Feature Syndicate, The Telegraph, The Independent and The Wall Street Journal.
