Enjoyable get-together in a tropic nice environment (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

picnic

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

'enjoyable get-together' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

'in a tropic nice environment' is the wordplay.
'in' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'PICNIC' can be found hidden inside 'tropic nice environment'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for picnic that I've seen before include "Informal meal in open air for pleasure" , "Take a meal outside" , "Do without" , "Informal outdoor summer meal" , "Informal excursion with meal in open air" .)
