Some stopped, largely to see travelling salesman (6)
I believe the answer is:
pedlar
'travelling salesman' is the definition.
(someone peddling their wares)
'some stopped largely to' is the wordplay.
'some' indicates a hidden word (some parts of the word are used).
'PEDLAR' is hidden within 'stopped largely to'.
'see' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for pedlar that I've seen before include "Mobile salesman" , "Travelling salesman" , "Travelling vendor of small goods" , "Itinerant salesperson" , "Itinerant trader" .)
