Put away, as it causes readers to pause - for the most part it's unfinished (6)
I believe the answer is:
commit
'put away' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'for the most part it's unfinished' is the wordplay.
'for' becomes 'com' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'part' suggests taking the first letters.
'unfinished' means to remove the last letter.
The first letter of 'most' is 'm'.
'its' with its final letter taken off is 'it'.
'com'+'m'+'it'='COMMIT'
'as it causes readers to pause' acts as a link.
I am not very happy about this link. Some or all of it may be part of another bit of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for commit that I've seen before include "execute" , "Send for trial" , "Do or perform, say a crime" , "Perform act or send to prison" , "Perpetrate, carry out (a crime)" .)
