Month working in protective garment (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

apron

'protective garment' is the definition.
(apron is a kind of protective garment)

'month working' is the wordplay.
'month' becomes 'apr' (Apr is an example).
'working' becomes 'on'.
'apr'+'on'='APRON'

'in' is the link.

(Other definitions for apron that I've seen before include "Space in front of curtain" , "Protective cover" , "Area for aircraft not in use" , "something befitting kitchen-sink drama?" , "Kitchen garment or aerodrome strip" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
