Stick around longer than necessary (6)

I believe the answer is:

linger

(Other definitions for linger that I've seen before include "Remain for long" , "Be slow to go" , "Leave slowly and hesitantly" , "Stay on as if reluctant to leave" , "'Loiter, delay leaving (6)'" .)

I've seen this clue in the USA Today.
