Component of pumpkin spice (6)

I believe the answer is:

nutmeg

(Other definitions for nutmeg that I've seen before include "Hard seed used as seasoning" , "Hard aromatic seed" , "Hard seed of tropical tree ground as spice" , "Hard seed of tropical tree used as spice" , "Give out light" .)

I've seen this clue in the Universal.
