Takes a break (5)

I believe the answer is:

rests

'takes a break' is the definition.
(resting is a kind of taking a break)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for rests that I've seen before include "Pauses; relaxes" , "holidays" , "Takes a break" , "Musical pauses" , "Relaxes, sleeps" .)

I've seen this clue in the King Feature Syndicate, the Sydney Morning Herald, the USA Today, the Newsday, the Universal, the Penny Press, The Wall Street Journal, The Star Tribune and The Mirror.
