Stay in hostel in Germany (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

linger

'stay' is the definition.
(I know that linger is a more specific form of the action stay)

'in hostel in germany' is the wordplay.
'in' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'LINGER' is hidden in the letters of 'hostel in germany'.

(Other definitions for linger that I've seen before include "Hang back awhile" , "Delay departure" , "Dawdle, hang around" , "Stay on as if reluctant to leave" , "Leave slowly and hesitantly" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
