Stag pop butchered as temporay measure (7)

stopgap

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'measure' is the definition.
(I have seen 'Temporary measure ' mean 'stopgap' so perhaps 'measure' could also mean 'stopgap')

'stag pop butchered' is the wordplay.
'butchered' indicates anagramming the letters (I've seen this in other clues).
'stag'+'pop'='stagpop'
'stagpop' with letters rearranged gives 'STOPGAP'.

'as temporay' is the link.
This may not be correct. Some or all of it may be part of another bit of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for stopgap that I've seen before include "Makeshift" , "Temporary expedient" , "A temporary or impromptu substitute" , "Improvisation" , "Interim" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
