Stand delay (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

stall

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'stand' is the first definition.
(synonyms)

'delay' is the second definition.
(I know that stall is a more specific form of delay)

(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 Mirror and The Daily Express.
