The answer is: ISLAND.
Look at the letters:
IS + LA + ND = ISLAND.
The word begins with IS. Its middle contains LA. And its final three letters are AND.
The puzzle sounds complicated because it describes different sections of the word separately, but all the clues point to the same familiar six-letter word.
Once you stop searching for a complicated phrase and simply arrange the letter clues, the answer becomes clear. This is a classic example of a riddle where the solution is built directly from the pieces provided in the question.
