Crossword Genius

Stop, say, for a rest (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

break

This clue is a double definition.

'stop' is the first definition.
(synonyms)

'for a rest' is the second definition.
(I've seen this before)

'say' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for break that I've seen before include "Shatter; interval" , "Holiday - destroy" , "Interrupt - rest period" , "Come to an end" , "Vacation; snap" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
