Ireland's panache (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

elan

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

'panache' is the definition.
(I know that panache can be written as elan)

'ireland's' is the wordplay.
'ELAN' is hidden within the letters.
However, I'm unsure how the hidden word is indicated.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for elan that I've seen before include "fizz" , "Energy, style and enthusiasm" , "Vigour, style, enthusiasm" , "French dish in lane" , "Impressive and energetic style" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
