Month of dignity (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

august

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

This could be a double definition.

'month' is the first definition.
(August is an example)

'dignity' is the second definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't see how they can define each other.

'of' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for august that I've seen before include "clown in circus" , "Impressive, majestic" , "Pale-faced fool" , "Inspiring reverence" , "there's not much of it left now [27 AUGUST]" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Independent.
