Shoot for most of the season (5)
I believe the answer is:
sprig
'shoot' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
I can't explain the remainder of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for sprig that I've seen before include "Spray or twig" , "Purloined" , "Headless nail; leafy ornament" , "Small twig" , "Shoot - twig" .)
