Conspicuous — not at work (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

striking

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'conspicuous' is the first definition.
(similar in meaning)

'not at work' is the second definition.

(Other definitions for striking that I've seen before include "Impressive; refusing to work" , "Remarkable; hitting" , "Prominent" , "Conspicuously impressive" , "Attracting attention by reason of being unusual" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
