A particular time, possibly (4)
I believe the answer is:
item
'a particular' is the definition.
('item' can be a synonym of 'particular')
'time possibly' is the wordplay.
'possibly' is an anagram indicator.
'time' anagrammed gives 'ITEM'.
(Other definitions for item that I've seen before include "Separate article" , "Object in a list" , "Single unit" , "Romantic couple" , "Feature" .)
