Crossword Genius

A break for the others, full stop (4,6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

rest period

'a break' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'others full stop' is the wordplay.
'others' becomes 'rest' (eg the rest of a group).
'full stop' becomes 'period' (US name for a full stop).
'rest'+'period'='REST PERIOD'

'for the' acts as a link.
