Temporarily stop while away going round America (7)
I believe the answer is:
suspend
'temporarily stop' is the definition.
(suspend can mean to stop for a period of time)
'while away going round america' is the wordplay.
'while away' becomes 'spend' (I've seen this before).
'going round' indicates putting letters inside (some letters go around others).
'america' becomes 'US' (United States).
'spend' going around 'us' is 'SUSPEND'.
(Other definitions for suspend that I've seen before include "Hang - discontinue" , "Hold up or dangle" , "Hang freely" , "Delay" , "Bar temporarily" .)
