Sons ready to wander arid stretch (3,6)
I believe the answer is:
dry season
'arid stretch' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both related to time as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps there's a link between them I don't understand?
'sons ready to wander' is the wordplay.
'to wander' indicates anagramming the letters.
'sons'+'ready'='sonsready'
'sonsready' with letters rearranged gives 'DRY SEASON'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for dry season that I've seen is " Any dosser (anag) - no rains at this time".)
