Time share, nominally? (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tim

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'share nominally?' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

'time' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'time' could be 't' (abbreviation) and 't' is located in the answer.
The remaining letters 'im' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for tim that I've seen before include "Adjoin" , "Tiny Dickens boy from 'A Christmas Carol'" , "-- Brooke-Taylor, comic" , "Tiny ..., Bob Cratchit's son in A Christmas Carol" , "Tiny ..., endearing Dickens boy" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
