A very small piece from tremors elicited around it (6)

I believe the answer is:

morsel

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

'a very small piece' is the definition.
'morsel' can be an answer for 'piece' (I have seen 'Small piece' mean 'morsel' so perhaps 'piece' could also mean 'morsel'). I'm not sure about the 'a very small' bit.

'tremors elicited around it' is the wordplay.
'MORSEL' is hidden in amongst the letters.
But, I am not sure how this is indicated.

'from' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for morsel that I've seen before include "Part" , "Bite to eat" , "A small amount of food, just a piece" , "(Tasty) bit" , "Scrap, fragment" .)
