Brief halt (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

pause

'brief halt' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for pause that I've seen before include "Temporary stop or hesitation" , "Temporary cessation" , "Stop briefly, take ten" , "Take a break" , "Kick" .)

I've seen this clue in the Newsday.
