Even Daley's twisting and turning is brought to a standstill (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

paralysed

'brought to a standstill' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'even daley's twisting and turning' is the wordplay.
'even' becomes 'par' (I've seen this in other clues).
'twisting and turning' indicates an anagram.
'daleys' anagrammed gives 'alysed'.
'par'+'alysed'='PARALYSED'

'is' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for paralysed that I've seen before include "Deprived of the power of movement" , "Partly or wholly incapable of movement" , "Unable to move" , "brought to a standstill" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
