Crossword Genius

Rested for a day (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sat

This clue is a double definition.

'rested' is the first definition.
(to sit is to rest)

'day' is the second definition.
(abbreviation for Saturday)

'for a' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for sat that I've seen before include "Posed (for an artist)" , "Used a chair" , "nearly half a day" , "Took a seat and posed for a portrait" , "Perched" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
