Time to argue for mutiny? (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

treason

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

'time to argue' is the wordplay.
'time' becomes 't' (abbreviation).
'to argue' becomes 'reason' (synonyms).
't'+'reason'='TREASON'

'for' is the link.

(Other definitions for treason that I've seen before include "Mutiny" , "Deliberate act of betrayal" , "One's art? (anag)" , "subversion" , "Lese-majesty" .)

I've seen this clue in The Everyman puzzle in The Observer.
