Pause from exertion (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

respite

'pause from exertion' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for respite that I've seen before include "Abatement, rest" , "Pause from pain" , "Relaxation" , "See trip (anag.)" , "Short let-up" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
