Recover month, going round a state (7)

I believe the answer is:

vermont

'a state' is the definition.
(I know that Vermont is a American state)

'recover month going round' is the wordplay.
'going round' indicates a hidden word.
'VERMONT' is hidden within 'recover month'.

(Other definitions for vermont that I've seen before include "New England state, capital Montpelier" , "US state, named for the Green Mountains" , "The Green Mountain state" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
