Time to jump (6)
I believe the answer is:
spring
This clue might be a double definition.
'time' is the first definition.
The answer and definition can be both human attributes as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps you can see an association between them that I can't see?
'jump' is the second definition.
(I know that spring is a type of jump)
'to' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for spring that I've seen before include "Start season" , "split" , "Bound into the season" , "Pounce -- pogo stick part" , "See 11" .)
