Suspend Chinese go-between, to begin with (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

hang

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'suspend' is the definition.
(to hang is to suspend from something)

'chinese go-between to begin with' is the wordplay.
'chinese' becomes 'han' (Chinese dynasty).
'go-between' becomes 'g' (this could be a standard abbreviation which I don't know about).
'to begin with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'han'+'g'='HANG'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for hang that I've seen before include "Put up picture" , "Suspend (something)" , "Suspend, perhaps execute" , "Kill with a noose" , "Go to the gallows" .)
