Got flooring in Illinois (4)

I believe the answer is:

lino

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

'got flooring' is the definition.
The answer and definition are not the same part of speech.

'in illinois' is the wordplay.
'in' indicates a hidden word.
'LINO' can be found hidden inside 'illinois'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for lino that I've seen before include "Tough floor covering" , "put this down?" , "Floor covering (abbr)" , "'Floor covering, in short (4)'" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
