Of the period before Easter (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

lenten

'of the period before easter' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for lenten that I've seen before include "Of the pre-Easter period" , "Appropriate to period before Easter" , "Pertaining to time of fast" , "Of the Christian penitential season" , "Referring to a fast time" .)

I've seen this clue in the Irish Times (Simplex) and The Irish Times.
