Recall jogger having a rest (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

remainder

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'rest' is the definition.
(I know that rest can be written as remainder)

'recall jogger having a' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'a' is within the answer.
'recall' could be 'remind' (synonyms) and 'remind' is present in the leftover letters.
The remaining letters 'er' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for remainder that I've seen before include "Leftovers" , "Left-over" , "book going cheap" , "that's left" , "Sell off book stock cheaply" .)
