Stopped its use in the home (6)
I believe the answer is:
paused
'stopped' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'use in the home' is the wordplay.
'in the' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'home' becomes 'pad' (pad can mean a person's home).
'use' going within 'pad' is 'PAUSED'.
'its' acts as a link.
This may not be right. It may be part of another bit of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for paused that I've seen before include "Waited a moment" , "Ceased temporarily" , "Hesitated, stopped briefly" , "Stopped temporarily or hesitated" .)
