Hang around, perhaps craftily? (5)
I believe the answer is:
hover
'hang around' is the definition.
(hover can mean to linger or hang around)
I can't explain the remainder of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for hover that I've seen before include "What some cross-Channel craft do" , "Low flying machine (10)" , "Float above in the air, perhaps a craft" , "Hang around (in air)" , "Remain in one place in the air" .)
