Hold off coming round to make a scene (8)
I believe the answer is:
backdrop
'scene' is the definition.
(I know that backdrop is a type of scene)
I cannot understand how the rest of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for backdrop that I've seen before include "Theatrical scenery" , "Scenery hung at the rear of a stage" , "Against which action is played out" , "Wider view" , "Painted rear stage cloth" .)
