A time to shun wit? (7)

I believe the answer is:

whitsun

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

'a time' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both related to time as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps there's an association between them I don't understand?

'shun wit?' is the wordplay.
'shun wit' can be anagrammed to 'WHITSUN'.
Though, I'm unsure how the anagram is indicated.

'to' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for whitsun that I've seen before include "Feast" , "Holy Spirit festival" , "Wins hut on short Christian Sabbath" , "holiday?" , "Pentecost season" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish News.
