'occasionally' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'call for help to secure personal relaxation?' is the wordplay.
'call for help' becomes 'sos' (SOS distress signal).
'to secure' indicates putting letters inside (inserted letters are secured inside).
'personal relaxation?' becomes 'metime' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'sos' enclosing 'metime' is 'SOMETIMES'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for sometimes that I've seen before include "Seem moist (anag.)" , "Not always" , "On occasion" , "Occasionally available" .)
