Brief period (5)

Ross

I think it could be either:

spell

stint

'brief period' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for spell that I've seen before include "Stretch" , "Magical charm; short time" , "... mean" , "get letters in order" , "Name letters of a word" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
