Round French resort, becoming delayed (2,3)
I believe the answer is:
on ice
'delayed' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'round french resort' is the wordplay.
'round' becomes 'o' (o is a circular letter).
'french resort' becomes 'nice' (French coastal resort).
'o'+'nice'='ON ICE'
'becoming' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for on ice that I've seen before include "Waiting" , "Where one might find slippers" , "Suspended; chilled" , "delayed" , "Halted for a while" .)
