Waylay, in a way (6)

I believe the answer is:

hijack

(Other definitions for hijack that I've seen before include "Rainwater conduit" , "Take over plane by force in flight" , "Appropriate" , "Seizure of vehicle in motion" , "Illegally take over (a plane or ship)" .)

I've seen this clue in the Newsday.
