Distinct period (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

era

'distinct period' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for era that I've seen before include "US equality law" , "Important time" , "Age of importance" , "Aeon" , "quite some time" .)

I've seen this clue in the USA Today, the Penny Press, The Sun and the Universal.
