Pause to play? (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

recess

(Other definitions for recess that I've seen before include "Closure of Parliament during a vacation" , "Niche; temporary cessation of parliament" , "Space set back in wall" , "Temporary cessation from business" , "Alcove - school break" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
