Floor covering from Paris that’s included in part (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

parquet

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

'floor covering' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'paris that's included in part' is the wordplay.
'paris' becomes 'que' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'that's included in' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'que' inserted inside 'part' is 'PARQUET'.

'from' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for parquet that I've seen before include "Type of wooden flooring" , "Hardwood floor covering" , "Floor-covering of wooden blocks" , "Hardwood flooring" , "Blocks of wood" .)
