Times removed striking editor (4)

I believe the answer is:
eras
'times' is the definition.
(an era is a time or period)
I can't explain the rest of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for eras that I've seen before include "typeface" , "Epochs" , "At least two times" , "Long and distinct periods of history" , "Periods of time" .)
