Temporary relief (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

respite

'temporary relief' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for respite that I've seen before include "Hiatus" , "See trip (anag.)" , "Brief period of relief" , "Brief let-up" , "Pause to rest" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian, The Times, The Sun and The New York Times.
