Hold-up (5)

Ross

I think it could be either:

delay

heist

'holdup' is the definition.
(I know that heist is a type of holdup)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for heist that I've seen before include "criminal activity" , "Armed hold-up (sl.)" , "Audacious robbery" , "Mugging" , "Armed robbery" .)

I've seen this clue in the USA Today, The Mirror, the Sydney Morning Herald, The Independent, The Star Tribune, The Telegraph and The Irish Independent.
