Remain idle (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

rest

I believe this is a double definition.

'remain' is the first definition.
('rest' can be a synonym of 'remain')

'idle' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)

(Other definitions for rest that I've seen before include "Lie down" , "'Relax, pause from work (4)'" , "Calm" , "Others; cease work" , "Support for putting things on" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
