Seven from Paris quietly going for more time in subterranean home (4)

I believe the answer is:

sett

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

'home' is the definition.
(type of animal dwelling)

'seven from paris quietly going for more time in subterranean' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'from' could be 'e' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'e' is located in the answer.
'time' could be 't' (abbreviation) and 't' is found within the answer.
The remaining letters 'st' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This may be the basis of clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for sett that I've seen before include "Underground 10 [HOUSE]" , "Badger's residence" , "Badger's earth" , "Test for a badger's burrow" , "Badgers' lair" .)
