Misfortune during holiday leads to indecision (11)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

vacillation

'indecision' is the definition.
(vacillation is a kind of indecision)

'misfortune during holiday' is the wordplay.
'misfortune' becomes 'ill' (ill is a kind of misfortune).
'during' indicates putting letters inside.
'holiday' becomes 'vacation' ('vacation' can be a synonym of 'holiday'**).
'ill' placed within 'vacation' is 'VACILLATION'.

'leads to' acts as a link.

(Another definition for vacillation that I've seen is " Indecision; wavering".)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
