Hang about to behold new rite (6)
I believe the answer is:
loiter
'hang about' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'behold new rite' is the wordplay.
'behold' becomes 'lo' (archaic exclamation meaning 'look!').
'new' is an anagram indicator.
'rite' with letters rearranged gives 'iter'.
'lo'+'iter'='LOITER'
'to' is the link.
(Other definitions for loiter that I've seen before include "Tarry like toiler" , "Dawdle, hang around" , "Skulk" , "lounge" , "Hang about, with 25 dn perhaps" .)
