Kick hard and stall (5)
I believe the answer is:
booth
'stall' is the definition.
('booth' can be a synonym of 'stall')
'kick hard' is the wordplay.
'kick' becomes 'boot' (booting is a kind of kicking).
'hard' becomes 'h'.
'boot'+'h'='BOOTH'
'and' is the link.
(Other definitions for booth that I've seen before include "Market stall - Lincoln's assassin" , "compartment for voting" , "Temporary structure eg for voting" , "Army leader" , "Stall at fair or market" .)
