Dont disturb a holiday... (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

leave

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'holiday' is the definition.
(I know that holiday is a type of holiday)

'dont disturb a' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'a' is present in the answer.
The remaining letters 'leve' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for leave that I've seen before include "Pull out" , "Depart on job holiday" , "Clearance" , "Depart - on authorised holidays?" , "Exit" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish News.
