Delay yield (5)
I believe the answer is:
defer
I believe this clue is a double definition.
'delay' is the first definition.
(I know that defer is a more specific form of the action delay)
'yield' is the second definition.
(I know that defer is a more specific form of the action 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" .)
