Crossword Genius

Splendid time of year (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

august

This clue is a double definition.

'splendid' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)

'time of year' is the second definition.
(month)

(Other definitions for august that I've seen before include "For Edna O'Brien, it was a 27 across month" , "Month befitting a lord" , "Month named after a Roman emperor" , "A grand month?" , "Venerable; month" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
