Crossword Genius

Relaxed in desert conditions (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

rested

'relaxed' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'desert conditions' is the wordplay.
'conditions' indicates anagramming the letters (condition can mean to influence or treat).
'desert' anagrammed gives 'RESTED'.

'in' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for rested that I've seen before include "Reposed or took a breather" , "Took a break from activities" , "Took one's ease" , "Relaxed, took a break" , "Took break in desert" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror and The Daily Express.
