The "cruellest" month, per T.S. Eliot (5)

I believe the answer is:

april

(Other definitions for april that I've seen before include "Start of the second quarter" , "Woman" , "First of Herrick's four sweet months" , "''All in an ... evening / ... airs were abroad'' (by Katherine Tynan)" , "Springtime rain" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times and the Universal.
