offering

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

'gift' is the definition.
(offering is a kind of gift)

'from fiance on vacation the traditional one' is the wordplay.
'from' becomes 'of' (of can mean from or belonging to).
'on vacation' means to remove the middle letters (after the inside letters have vacated the word).
'the traditional one' becomes 'ring' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'fiance' with its middle removed is 'fe'.
'of'+'fe'+'ring'='OFFERING'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for offering that I've seen before include "Present" , "Contribution, sacrifice" , "Oblation" , "Putting forward for acceptance or rejection" , "Gift presented for acceptance" .)
