Ceased temporarily (6)

I believe the answer is:

paused

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

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for paused that I've seen before include "Ceased temporarily" , "Stopped temporarily or hesitated" , "Waited a moment" , "Hesitated, stopped briefly" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
