Arrest and hang (7)
I believe the answer is:
suspend
This clue is a double definition.
'arrest' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)
'hang' is the second definition.
(suspending is a kind of hanging)
'and' is the link.
(Other definitions for suspend that I've seen before include "Stop for a time" , "Hang, defer" , "Delay" , "Bar temporarily" , "Remove temporarily from office - hang" .)
