Bungling rounds, a boxing judge suspends proceedings (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

adjourns

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'suspends proceedings' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'bungling rounds a boxing judge' is the wordplay.
'bungling' indicates anagramming the letters (I've seen this in other clues).
'boxing' is an insertion indicator ('box' can mean contain, as in to put in a box).
'judge' becomes 'J' (abbreviation for judge).
'rounds'+'a'='roundsa'
'roundsa' is an anagram of 'adourns'.
'adourns' enclosing 'j' is 'ADJOURNS'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for adjourns that I've seen before include "off-putting" , "Closes meeting" , "Postpones or breaks off temporarily, maybe a court hearing" , "Stays" , "rises" .)
