Italian smoker, seen to the east of village at green area? (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

etna

'italian smoker' is the definition.
(Italian volcano - something that produces smoke)

'to the east of village at green area?' is the wordplay.
'to the east of' says to take the final letters (the rightmost letter).
The final letters of 'village at green' are 'etn'.
'etn'+'a'='ETNA'

'seen' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for etna that I've seen before include "Natural hazard" , "Sicilian volcano" , "Highest peak in Italy south of the Alps" , "It can be scorching" , "Active European volcano" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
