Ross

I believe the answer is:

lent

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">period of fasting before easter</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(Christian fast leading up to Easter)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is all the clue.<br/ ></span>

(Other definitions for lent that I've seen before include "Gave for a limited period" , "Gave the use of for a time" , "Fast time" , "Loaned; a fast" , "From Ash Wednesday to Holy Saturday" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
