Break point with return I fancy (12)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

interruption

'break' is the definition.
('interruption' can be a synonym of 'break')

'point with return i fancy' is the wordplay.
'with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'fancy' indicates an anagram.
'return'+'i'='returni'
'point' after 'returni' is 'returnipoint'.
'returnipoint' with letters rearranged gives 'INTERRUPTION'.

(Other definitions for interruption that I've seen before include "Temporary cessation" , "Something breaking continuity" , "Break in continuity" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
