war-time

Era of fighting

War-time refers to a period when a country or region is engaged in armed conflict.

It often modifies nouns to indicate conditions, measures, or experiences characteristic of such periods: war-time rationing, war-time propaganda, war-time shortages.

The hyphenated form emphasizes the compound's use as an adjective; the solid form wartime is more common.
