Better holiday (5)
I believe the answer is:
break
This clue is a double definition.
'better' is the first definition.
(I know that better can be written as break)
'holiday' is the second definition.
(break can mean a holiday or time off)
(Other definitions for break that I've seen before include "Come to an end" , "Vacation; snap" , "Fracture; holiday" , "Short holiday" , "Interrupt; holiday" .)
