Hangs around (7)

Ross

I think it could be either:

loiters

lingers

'hangs around' is the definition.
('linger' can be a synonym of 'hang around')

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for lingers that I've seen before include "Dallies" , "Dawdles" , "hangs around in hope" , "Leaves slowly and hesitantly" , "Hangs on, prolongs leave-taking" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald, The Times and The Irish Times.
