'time off' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both related to time as well as being singular nouns.

'doctor strayed' is the wordplay.
'doctor' indicates anagramming the letters.
'strayed' anagrammed gives 'REST-DAY'.

'having' acts as a link.

(Another definition for rest day that I've seen is " Time to be off".)
