In a state of lassitude, take a rest (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sit

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

'a rest' is the definition.
(I've seen this in other clues)

'in a state of lassitude' is the wordplay.
'SIT' is hidden within the letters.
However, I am not sure how the hidden word is indicated.

'take' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for sit that I've seen before include "Take a chair" , "Rest on one's haunches" , "Perch" , "Model" , "as magistrates do" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
