Season of goodwill yet I duel anyway (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

yuletide

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'season of goodwill' is the definition.
'Yuletide' can be an answer for 'season' (Yuletide is an example). I'm not sure about the 'of goodwill' bit.

'yet i duel anyway' is the wordplay.
'anyway' indicates an anagram.
'yet'+'i'+'duel'='yetiduel'
'yetiduel' is an anagram of 'YULETIDE'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for yuletide that I've seen before include "Old word for Christmas season" , "Present time" , "Christmas time" , "Old word for the Christmas festival - a log is named after it" , "time for feast" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
