Took a break (6)
I believe the answer is:
rested
'took a break' is the definition.
(resting is a kind of taking a break)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for rested that I've seen before include "Took a break from activities" , "Took one's ease" , "Reposed or took a breather" , "Took break in desert" , "Relaxed, took a break" .)
