Opposing abolishing small lunchtime breaks (5)
I believe the answer is:
rests
'breaks' is the definition.
(I know this)
I cannot understand how the rest of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for rests that I've seen before include "Pauses; relaxes" , "holidays" , "Relaxes, sleeps" , "Takes a break" , "Reposes" .)
