Lull (7)
I believe the answer is:
respite
<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">lull</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I have seen 'A lull ' mean 'respite' so perhaps 'lull' could also mean 'respite')</span><br/ ><br/ >This is the entire clue.<br/ ></span>
(Other definitions for respite that I've seen before include "Pause from exertion, etc" , "See trip (anag.)" , "temporary delay" , "Period of relief (from unpleasant thing)" , "Break from doing something" .)
