0 to remain strong or successful:
1 a delay:
Come on, let's go. What's the hold-up?

3 stockings (= light coverings for the legs and feet) that hold themselves up by a piece of sticky material or elastic at the top
4 to continue to operate or be able to do things, esp. after being repaired or being ill:
6 a delay that prevents something from happening:
hold-up in sth Work is yet to start because of hold-ups in obtaining planning permission.
We are presently collecting data on the flow rates, pressure drops and hold-up ratios for several oil-water systems.
A second source of hold-up is the cardiotomy reservoir.
Excessive hold-up can cause transitory losses of circulating volume, necessitating either an interruption of flow or the addition of blood or crystalloid solutions.
For the supplier, however, a contract may just be one amongst many and mean it can issue a credible threat of hold-up.
We can measure pressure drops and hold-up ratios in the two test sections used to monitor up- and down-flow.
Some centers employ tubing of 3/16 inch internal diameter for the suction lines to reduce hold-up.
Consoquently the layer is denser and less mobile than it should be, and the flow rate is smaller for a given mass hold-up.
The hold-up ratio proves to be an important parameter in determining the operating water fraction.
