Coming to a stop (7)

I believe the answer is:

halting

(Other definitions for halting that I've seen before include "Far from fluent" , "Stopping or faltering" , "making slow progress" , "Slow and hesitant, faltering" , "Stopping; lame" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian and the Family Time.
