Crossword Genius

More than one support breaks (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

rests

I believe this is a double definition.

'more than one support' is the first definition.
(rest is a kind of support)

'breaks' is the second definition.
(rest is a kind of break)

(Other definitions for rests that I've seen before include "holidays" , "Reposes" , "Pauses; relaxes" , "Takes one's ease" , "Musical pauses" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
