Age, eon (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

era

I believe this is a double definition.

'age' is the first definition.
(both can mean a long time)

'eon' is the second definition.
(I've seen this before)

(Other definitions for era that I've seen before include "Age marked by a distinctive character" , "Stage" , "Long period of history" , "quite some time" , "Specific time" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian and The Telegraph.
