I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'periodical? quite the opposite' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'fetes i announce in' is the wordplay.
'in' says the answer is hidden in the clue.
'ETESIAN' can be found hidden inside 'fetes i announce'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for etesian that I've seen before include "(Of certain winds) seasonal; tease in (anag.)" , "(Of winds) blowing each summer; sea nite (anag.)" , "Periodical (as some winds and wells)" , "returning every year" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
