The pair in limbo there (4)

I believe the answer is:

both

'the pair' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'in limbo there' is the wordplay.
'in' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'BOTH' is hidden within 'limbo there'.

(Other definitions for both that I've seen before include "The two (things)" , "Two considered together" , "Each of two (alternatives)" , "couple" , "The one and the other" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
