Inappropriate time to speak on the phone with Kelvin: around Wednesday? (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

midweek

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

'wednesday?' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'inappropriate time to speak on the phone with kelvin' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'time' could be 'week' (period of time) and 'week' is found in the answer.
The remaining letters 'mid' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'around' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for midweek that I've seen before include "Tuesday to Thursday?" , "Normal working day(s)" , "Wednesday (or thereabouts)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
