A rich place of relaxation (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

chair

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

'relaxation' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both acts as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe you can see an association between them that I can't see?

'a rich place' is the wordplay.
'place' indicates anagramming the letters (I've seen 'placed' mean this (placing the letters)).
'a'+'rich'='arich'
'arich' with letters rearranged gives 'CHAIR'.

'of' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for chair that I've seen before include "Movable seat" , "president" , "director at meeting" , "Get seat" , "Backed seat for one" .)
