Suspended, inactive (7)

I believe the answer is:

abeyant

This clue is a double definition.

'suspended' is the first definition.
(synonyms)

'inactive' is the second definition.
(synonyms)

(Other definitions for abeyant that I've seen before include "In temporary suspension" , "in suspense" , "temporarily suspended" , "Adjourned" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
