Temporarily inactive (7)

Ross

I think it could be either:

dormant

abeyant

'temporarily inactive' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for dormant that I've seen before include "Comatose" , "Temporarily inactive, being mordant" , "Mordant about lying inactive" , "Suspended" , "Sluggish" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph, the New York Times, The Guardian and the Wall Street Journal.
