Unable to move second pleat (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

stuck

'unable to move' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'second pleat' is the wordplay.
'second' becomes 's' (common abbreviation).
'pleat' becomes 'tuck' (tuck is a kind of pleat).
's'+'tuck'='STUCK'

(Other definitions for stuck that I've seen before include "Trapped" , "Will's thrust" , "Baffled" , "Lodged" , "Unable to move" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
