Stopped briefly (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

paused

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">stopped briefly</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I've seen this before)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is all the clue.<br/ ></span>

(Other definitions for paused that I've seen before include "Hesitated, stopped briefly" , "Stopped temporarily or hesitated" , "Ceased temporarily" , "Waited a moment" .)

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