Short respite (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

breather

'short respite' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for breather that I've seen before include "A rest - lung?" , "lung or > liver?" , "Short pause for rest" , "Short rest between bouts of exercise" , "Short respite" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian and the Sydney Morning Herald.
