Will it stop houses going up though? (5)
I believe the answer is:
still
'though?' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'will it stop houses going up' is the wordplay.
'houses' indicates a hidden word (part of the clue houses the answer).
'going up' says the letters should be written backwards.
'llits' is hidden in the letters of 'will it stop'.
'llits' backwards is 'STILL'.
(Other definitions for still that I've seen before include "Where to make spirits" , "Stationary" , "gentle" , "in spite of this" , "Always" .)
