Holding in suspense (8)
I believe the answer is:
dangling
This could be a double definition.
'holding' is the first definition.
The answer and definition can be both acts as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'suspense' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)
'in' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for dangling that I've seen before include "Disconnected" , "Hanging loosely, swinging or swaying" , "Offering" .)
