Pleasant around even parts of North - observe (6)
I believe the answer is:
notice
'observe' is the definition.
(noticing is a kind of observing)
'pleasant around even parts of north' is the wordplay.
'pleasant' becomes 'nice' ('nice' is associated in meaning with 'pleasant').
'around' is an insertion indicator.
'even parts of' indicates alternate letters.
The alternating letters of 'north' are 'ot'.
'nice' enclosing 'ot' is 'NOTICE'.
(Other definitions for notice that I've seen before include "Observe the placard or sign" , "Information of future events" , "Announcement (of the sack?)" , "Advance information" , "Observe, percieve" .)
