Support visit to delay postponement of legal proceedings (4)
I believe the answer is:
stay
This clue is a quadruple definition!!
'support' is the first definition.
(stay is a kind of support)
'visit' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)
'to delay' is the third definition.
('stay' can be a synonym of 'delay')
'postponement of legal proceedings' is the fourth definition.
'stay' can be an answer for 'postponement' (thesaurus). I'm not certain of the 'of legal proceedings' bit.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for stay that I've seen before include "Supporting rope or wire" , "Remain; brace" , "Remain; detain" , "last" , "Remain behind" .)
