'returning' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are adjectives. Maybe you can see a link between them that I don't see?

'break in the middle of jury service' is the wordplay.
'break' indicates anagramming the letters.
'in the middle of' says to take the centre (I've seen 'in the middle' mean this).
The central letters of 'jury' are 'ur'.
'ur'+'service'='urservice'
'urservice' anagrammed gives 'RECURSIVE'.

'from' is the link.
