Takes a break (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

rests

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">takes a break</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(resting is a kind of taking a break)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is the entire clue.<br/ ></span>

(Other definitions for rests that I've seen before include "Pauses; relaxes" , "holidays" , "Takes a break" , "Musical pauses" , "Relaxes, sleeps" .)

I've seen this clue in the USA Today, the King Feature Syndicate, the Sydney Morning Herald, the Penny Press, The Wall Street Journal, the Universal, The Mirror, The Star Tribune and the Newsday.
