Good health argument supporting rest (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

prosit

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

'good health' is the definition.
(German toast for drinking someone's health)

'argument supporting rest' is the wordplay.
'argument' becomes 'pro' (pro is a kind of argument).
'supporting rest' becomes 'sit' (I've seen this in other clues. I am not sure about the 'supporting' bit.).
'pro'+'sit'='PROSIT'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for prosit that I've seen before include "Happy days, perhaps" , "Bottoms up (in Germany)" , "Drinking salutation" , "Good health!; tripos (anagram)" , "good health is the answer" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sunday Times and The Times.
