Volcano dormant, evidently has packed up! (4)
I believe the answer is:
etna
'volcano' is the definition.
(Mount Etna)
I cannot understand how the rest of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for etna that I've seen before include "source of fumes?" , "Highest active volcano in Europe" , "a mount hotly tipped when it runs" , "Volcano in Sicily, quite neat" , "hole in the crust" .)
