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 all the 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 USA Today, The Mirror, the Universal, the Sydney Morning Herald, the Newsday, The Wall Street Journal, The Star Tribune and the Penny Press.
