Large cat cross about new delay (6)
I believe the answer is:
linger
'new delay' is the definition.
'linger' can be an answer for 'delay' (I've seen this before). I am not certain of the 'new' bit.
'large cat cross' is the wordplay.
'large' becomes 'L' (eg in clothes sizes).
'cat cross' becomes 'inger' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'l'+'inger'='LINGER'
'about' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for linger that I've seen before include "Tarry, hang around" , "Procrastinate" , "Remain behind" , "Delay departure" , "Leave slowly and hesitantly" .)
