Crossword Genius

Capsicum season (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

pepper

I believe this is a double definition.

'capsicum' is the first definition.
('pepper' can be a synonym of 'capsicum')

'season' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)

(Other definitions for pepper that I've seen before include "shower" , "Pungent condiment" , "Hot-tasting spice" , "Name of Band Sergeant" , "it may be black or white" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
