Stop and rest after six (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

visit

'stop' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'rest after six' is the wordplay.
'rest' becomes 'sit' (I've seen this in other clues).
'after' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'six' becomes 'vi' (roman numeral).
'sit' put after 'vi' is 'VISIT'.

'and' is the link.

(Other definitions for visit that I've seen before include "Go to see a place or person" , "See; temporary stay" , "Call in to see, socially or on business" , "Inflict" , "Come to see" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
