Nikita's outfit (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

kit

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

'outfit' is the definition.
(I know that outfit can be written as kit)

'nikita's' is the wordplay.
'KIT' is hidden in amongst the letters.
However, I'm uncertain how the hidden word is indicated.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for kit that I've seen before include "Old song 'Pack up your troubles in your old . . . bag'" , "Young cat" , "Set of equipment, perhaps for first-aid" , "Necessary equipment" , "In strip" .)
