Give a kick, say (6)

I believe the answer is:

season

(Other definitions for season that I've seen before include "Time of 9" , "Major division of year characterised by weather and growth" , "Quarter of the year" , "Add taste to; part of year" , "eg Winter" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
