Time that could be said to be out of date? (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

day

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

This could be a double definition.

'time that could be said to be' is the first definition.
'day' can be an answer for 'time' (day is a kind of time). I am unsure of the rest of the definition.

'date?' is the second definition.
(I know that date can be written as day)

'out of' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for day that I've seen before include "THIRD PART OF 23" , "Doris -, US actress" , "Twenty-four hours" , "Period of time" , "24 hours" .)
