Suspend new padre (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

drape

'suspend' is the definition.

'new padre' is the wordplay.
'new' indicates an anagram.
'padre' is an anagram of 'DRAPE'.

(Other definitions for drape that I've seen before include "Arrange (cloth) loosely round something" , "Cover loosely for padre" , "Swathe" , "Cover loosely with cloth" , "Adorn loosely (with cloth)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
