Stop working, cruise abroad (4,3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

trip out

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'stop working' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are verbs in their base form, I cannot see how they can define each other.

'cruise abroad' is the wordplay.
'cruise' becomes 'trip' (I've seen this in another clue).
'abroad' becomes 'out' (abroad can mean away or out).
'trip'+'out'='TRIP OUT'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for trip out that I've seen is " Stop working, currently".)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
