Pries around, grabbing sofa's last spring, perhaps (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

season

'spring perhaps' is the definition.
(spring is a season)

'pries around grabbing sofa's last' is the wordplay.
'pries' becomes 'noses' ('nose' can be a synonym of 'pry').
'around' says the letters should be written backwards.
'grabbing' indicates putting letters inside.
'last' indicates one should take the final letters.
The final letter of 'sofa' is 'a'.
'noses' written backwards gives 'seson'.
'seson' placed around 'a' is 'SEASON'.

(Other definitions for season that I've seen before include "Add flavour at a certain time of year" , "One of four periods" , "such as 'Summertime'" , "eg Winter" , "instruction in recipe" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
