Popular party, otherwise not held outside (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

indoor

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

'not held outside' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'popular party otherwise' is the wordplay.
'popular' becomes 'in' ('in' can mean trendy).
'party' becomes 'do' (do can informally mean a party).
'otherwise' becomes 'or'.
'in'+'do'+'or'='INDOOR'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for indoor that I've seen before include "Situated inside" , "Located within a building" , "under one roof?" , "away from the other elements" , "Situated under cover" .)
