Stay around for a little time, it's nice (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tasty

'nice' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'stay around for a little time' is the wordplay.
'around' indicates anagramming the letters.
'for' says to put letters next to each other (I've seen this in other clues).
'a little time' becomes 't' (abbreviation for time).
'stay' with letters rearranged gives 'asty'.
'asty' after 't' is 'TASTY'.

'it's' is the link.

(Other definitions for tasty that I've seen before include "Mouth-watering" , "Attractive, appealing" , "Toothsome" , "Palatable" , "Savoury" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
