Wait for dad to get help (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

pause

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

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

'dad to get help' is the wordplay.
'dad' becomes 'pa' (both can mean one's father).
'to get help' becomes 'use' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'pa'+'use'='PAUSE'

'for' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for pause that I've seen before include "Temporary interruption" , "Take a break" , "Hesitate; delay" , "Wait" , "Intermission" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
