Definition
Our definition here is 'some time', and our answer will be a word that represents some time.
Indicator
This clue's indicators are 'divided', 'over', and 'the shape of'. One of these is a selection indicator flagging that instead of taking all the letters of a neighbouring word, we need to take just a fraction.
