Passionate about n-nice clothes (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

finery

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

'clothes' is the definition.
(finery is a kind of clothes)

'passionate about n-nice' is the wordplay.
'passionate' becomes 'fiery' (similar in meaning).
'about' indicates putting letters inside.
'n-nice' becomes 'n' (this might be a standard abbreviation which I don't know about).
'fiery' enclosing 'n' is 'FINERY'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for finery that I've seen before include "smart clothes" , "Fancy clothes or trappings" , "Regalia" , "Elaborate clothing, jewellery etc" , "Showy clothing" .)
