Island of French Polynesia (6)
I believe the answer is:
tahiti
'island of french polynesia' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for tahiti that I've seen before include "An isle in the South Seas" , "Pacific island, Gauguin's home in the 1890s" , "French Polynesian island" , "South Pacific island, associated with Robert Louis Stevenson" , "I hit at the tropical island" .)
