Tarry guy (4)

I believe the answer is:

stay

This clue is a double definition.

'tarry' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)

'guy' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)

(Other definitions for stay that I've seen before include "Postpone" , "Remain behind" , "Support - postponement" , "Remain; steady" , "Thin strip used to stiffen a garment" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
