Break off to resume later (7)
I believe the answer is:
adjourn
'break off to resume later' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for adjourn that I've seen before include "Put off for later consideration" , "Break off for later resumption" , "Break off (meeting till later)" , "Temporarily break off (meeting)" , "Defer to a later date" .)
