Rellie is residing for a month after Seder (5)

I believe the answer is:

nisan

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'seder' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'rellie is residing for a month' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'is' is within the answer.
'a' could be 'an' and 'an' is found in the answer.
A single letter 'n' remains which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'after' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for nisan that I've seen before include "month in Israel" , "when Passover begins" .)
