Leave of absence (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

furlough

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">leave of absence</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(furlough is a kind of leave of absence)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is the entire clue.<br/ ></span>

(Other definitions for furlough that I've seen before include "Leave of absence from military duties" , "Very unattractive" , "Temporary leave of absence from military duty" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sunday Times, The Mirror, The Guardian, The Times and The Telegraph.
