Suspend eccentric padre (5)

Ross

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" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
