Stopping in cages for a change (7)
I believe the answer is:
ceasing
'stopping' is the definition.
('cease' can be a synonym of 'stop')
'in cages for a change' is the wordplay.
'for a change' indicates anagramming the letters.
'in'+'cages'='incages'
'incages' is an anagram of 'CEASING'.
(Other definitions for ceasing that I've seen before include "Discontinuing" , "Stopping" .)
