Regularly advised to stop working (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

die

'stop working' is the definition.
(I've seen this in other clues)

'regularly advised' is the wordplay.
'regularly' indicates alternate letters (regularly take one letter, leave next etc.).
The alternating letters of 'advised' are 'DIE'.

'to' is the link.

(Other definitions for die that I've seen before include "Give out" , "THIRD PART OF 24" , "Pass from physical life" , "Fail" , "one proverbially straight" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
