Sit with peer making break (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

respite

'break' is the definition.
(I know that break can be written as respite)

'sit with peer making' is the wordplay.
'with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'making' indicates anagramming the letters.
'sit'+'peer'='sitpeer'
'sitpeer' anagrammed gives 'RESPITE'.

(Other definitions for respite that I've seen before include "Pause from pain" , "Period of temporary relief" , "interruption" , "Breathing space" , "Short period of rest" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
