Hung around, bound to cover arrival (7)
I believe the answer is:
tarried
'hung around' is the definition.
('tarry' can be a synonym of 'hang around')
'bound to cover arrival' is the wordplay.
'bound' becomes 'tied' (I've seen this before).
'to cover' indicates putting letters inside.
'arrival' becomes 'arr' (abbreviation used in transport).
'tied' placed around 'arr' is 'TARRIED'.
(Other definitions for tarried that I've seen before include "Delayed in coming or going" , "Stayed longer than intended" , "Loitered" , "Delayed leaving (arch.)" , "briefly remained" .)
