Delay yield (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

defer

I believe this is a double definition.

'delay' is the first definition.
(I know that defer is a more specific form of delay)

'yield' is the second definition.
(I know that defer is a more specific form of the action the yield)

(Other definitions for defer that I've seen before include "Freed to submit to authority" , "Allow precedence (to)" , "Put off or give way" , "Give precedence to" , "stall" .)
