Name of some winter months? (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

term

'name' is the definition.
(both can mean a word for something)

'some winter months?' is the wordplay.
'some' indicates a hidden word (some of the parts of the word are used).
'TERM' is hidden within 'winter months'.

'of' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for term that I've seen before include "Period of education" , "Semester" , "Word or expression and period of time" , "Period of school life" , "Fixed period of time" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
