Time that can go backwards (4)
I believe the answer is:
noon
'time' is the definition.
(I know that noon is a type of hour)
I don't understand the rest of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for noon that I've seen before include "High time of day?" , "The middle of the day" , "when PM starts" , "[LUNCHTIME] ?" , "See 8" .)
