Did come round at that point but was indecisive (8)

I believe the answer is:

dithered

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

'was indecisive' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'did come round at that point' is the wordplay.
'come round' is an insertion indicator.
'at that point' becomes 'there' (I've seen this before).
'did' going around 'there' is 'DITHERED'.

'but' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for dithered that I've seen before include "was vacillating?" , "Vacillated, was indecisive" , "Vacillated indecisively" , "Was hesitant" , "Vacillated, wavered" .)
