ease

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

'relaxation' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'at the end english sea resort' is the wordplay.
'at' says to put letters next to each other.
'the end english' becomes 'e' (abbreviation. I am not sure about the 'end' bit.).
'resort' indicates an anagram.
'sea' is an anagram of 'ase'.
'e' next to 'ase' is 'EASE'.

'causes' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?
