Break balance (4)

I believe the answer is:

rest

I believe this is a double definition.

'break' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)

'balance' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)

(Other definitions for rest that I've seen before include "idle" , "What's left over" , "'Relax, pause from work (4)'" , "Tranquillity" , "Support for putting things on" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
