Springsteen possibly has time for British break (5)

I believe the answer is:
truce
'break' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
I don't understand the remainder of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for truce that I've seen before include "move towards permanent peace" , "Agreement to stop battle" , "Temporary cessation of hostilities" , "Cease-fire, armistice" , "Agreed ceasefire" .)
