Break in travel abroad (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

interval

'break' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'in travel abroad' is the wordplay.
'abroad' indicates an anagram.
'travel' with letters rearranged gives 'terval'.
'in'+'terval'='INTERVAL'

(Other definitions for interval that I've seen before include "Gap during performance" , "Intervening time" , "Pause in middle of performance" , "A break as in travel" , "Pause, break" .)

I've seen this clue in The Hindu.
