Crossword Genius

Time of pageantry (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

age

'time' is the definition.
(an age is a period of time)

'of pageantry' is the wordplay.
'of' indicates a hidden word.
'AGE' can be found hidden inside 'pageantry'.

(Other definitions for age that I've seen before include "Period of time" , "Years since birth" , "Era; grow old" , "Years lived so far" , "16/18 [INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION]" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
