Stop for a moment (5)

I believe the answer is:

pause

'stop for a moment' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for pause that I've seen before include "Stop briefly, take ten" , "Temporary interruption" , "Temporary inactivity" , "Stoppage" , "Temporary stop or hesitation" .)

I've seen this clue in the Universal, The Guardian, the Newsday.com and the L.A. Times Daily.
