Temporary break ruins routine print (12)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

interruption

'temporary break' is the definition.
(an interruption is a break or pause)

'ruins routine print' is the wordplay.
'ruins' is an anagram indicator.
'routine'+'print'='routineprint'
'routineprint' is an anagram of 'INTERRUPTION'.

(Other definitions for interruption that I've seen before include "Something breaking continuity" , "Temporary cessation" , "Break in continuity" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
