Suspend eccentric padre (5)
I believe the answer is:
drape
'suspend' is the definition.
'eccentric padre' is the wordplay.
'eccentric' indicates an anagram.
'padre' with letters rearranged gives 'DRAPE'.
(Other definitions for drape that I've seen before include "Screen" , "Pared (anag.)" , "Hang - curtain" , "Hanging cloth used as a blind" , "Loose fabric cover" .)
