Transient cessation of breathing (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

apnoea

'transient cessation of breathing' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for apnoea that I've seen before include "Asphyxia" , "Temporary cessation of breathing, in sleep say" , "Partial suspension of breath, in sleep say" , "Temporary suspension of breath, as in sleep say" , "Temporary suspension of breathing during sleep" .)

I've seen this clue in the Irish Times (Simplex) and The Irish Times.
