I have one question

The clue is “After start of month, couples touring university like certain trees” (9)

Answer - Deciduous (according to the answer at the back of the book)

My question is - how does the letter “i” in deciduous work its way from the clue? I understand Dec as start of the month and duos for couples and u for university, but how do they come up with the i from the clue?

Your help is very much appreciated. Thanks

"Start of month" = Dec. 1, then 1 becomes I?
