A month of possibility (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

may

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

This could be a double definition.

'a month' is the first definition.
(May is an example)

'possibility' is the second definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't see how one could define the other.

'of' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for may that I've seen before include "'5 _____' (popular piece of music by Bach)" , "The merry merry month( 3)" , "Might" , "Month; hawthorn" , "Fifth month" .)
