Stand delay (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

stall

I believe this is a double definition.

'stand' is the first definition.
(synonyms)

'delay' is the second definition.
(stalling is a kind of delaying)

(Other definitions for stall that I've seen before include "Come to a halt" , "Animal compartment" , "A stand in a market-place" , "Kiosk" , "Put off" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express and The Mirror.
