It's divine embracing girl in time off (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

holiday

'time off' is the definition.
(holiday is a kind of time off)

'it's divine embracing girl' is the wordplay.
'it's divine' becomes 'holy' (I've seen this before).
'embracing' is an insertion indicator.
'girl' becomes 'ida' (**).
'holy' going around 'ida' is 'HOLIDAY'.

'in' is the link.

(Other definitions for holiday that I've seen before include "Billie" , "Day of festivity" , "rest" , "jazz singer" , "Break from work" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
