Loiter round lewd ad (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

dawdle

'loiter' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'round lewd ad' is the wordplay.
'round' indicates an anagram.
'lewd'+'ad'='lewdad'
'lewdad' with letters rearranged gives 'DAWDLE'.

(Other definitions for dawdle that I've seen before include "Walk slowly and idly" , "Walk along idly, take your time" , "Wander along slowly" , "Dally" , "Hang back, waste time" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Independent.
