A little flash (6)
I believe the answer is:
minute
I believe this is a double definition.
'a little' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)
'flash' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)
(Other definitions for minute that I've seen before include "Precise" , "microscopic" , "Brief jotting" , "Tiny like time unit (6)" , "Short period of time" .)
