Stopped briefly (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

paused

'stopped briefly' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(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 Irish Times (Simplex) and The Guardian.
