Hung around (8)
I believe the answer is:
loitered
'hung around' is the definition.
('loiter' can be a synonym of 'hang around')
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for loitered that I've seen before include "Hung around idly, dawdled" , "Stood about idly" , "dilly-dallied" , "Dallied" , "Hung about, with intent perhaps" .)
