Seasons (5)

I think it could be either:

tides

salts

'seasons' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for tides that I've seen before include "drifts" , "Periodic changes in sea levels" , "Lunar-driven ocean movements" , "Diets (anag.)" , "Lunar-driven movements of oceans" .)

I've seen this clue in The Star Tribune, the Sydney Morning Herald, the Penny Press and The New York Times.
