Rue lies about vacation? (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

leisure

'vacation?' is the definition.
(vacation is a kind of leisure)

'rue lies about' is the wordplay.
'about' indicates an anagram.
'rue'+'lies'='ruelies'
'ruelies' anagrammed gives 'LEISURE'.

(Other definitions for leisure that I've seen before include "casual wear" , "Time to rest and enjoy" , "Time for relaxing" , "Freedom from work" , "may suggest fun and games" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
