Lingered, lurked (8)
I believe the answer is:
loitered
I believe this is a double definition.
'lingered' is the first definition.
('loiter' can be a synonym of 'linger')
'lurked' is the second definition.
('loiter' can be a synonym of 'lurk')
(Other definitions for loitered that I've seen before include "Stood around aimlessly" , "Kicked heels" , "Hung around idly, dawdled" , "dilly-dallied" , "Stood about idly" .)
