A break for the others, full stop (4,6)

I believe the answer is:

rest period

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'a break' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot tell whether it can be defined by this definition.

'the others full stop' is the wordplay.
'the others' becomes 'rest' (I've seen this in other clues).
'full stop' becomes 'period' (synonyms).
'rest'+'period'='REST PERIOD'

'for' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?
