'go back' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps you can see an association between them that I can't see?

'hesitation after a short walk for one into stars' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'hesitation' could be 'er' (sound made while hesitating - um, er) and 'er' is found within the answer.
'a' is present in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'with' is the link.
