Ruin holiday (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

break

This clue is a double definition.

'ruin' is the first definition.
(breaking is a kind of ruining)

'holiday' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)

(Other definitions for break that I've seen before include "Baker (anag.)" , "Short holiday" , "accumulation of points" , "Holiday; decipher (code)" , "Damage - interrupt" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
