Temporary stoppage of fighting (5)

I believe the answer is:

truce

(Other definitions for truce that I've seen before include "Agreed pause in fighting" , "Peace agreement" , "Agreed break in hostilities" , "move towards permanent peace" , "Agreement to stop fighting temporarily" .)

I've seen this clue in the USA Today.
