<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">hung in the air</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">('hover' can be a synonym of 'hang in the air')</span><br/ ><br/ >This is all the clue.<br/ ></span>
(Other definitions for hovered that I've seen before include "Remained in the air without moving" , "Floated" , "Remained in the one place in the air" , "Hung in the air" .)
