Crossword Genius

A glass for the acrobat (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tumbler

This clue is a double definition.

'a glass' is the first definition.
(tumbler is a kind of glass)

'acrobat' is the second definition.
(synonyms)

'for the' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for tumbler that I've seen before include "Type of drinking glass" , "Drinking glass or old acrobat" , "He performs feats" , "might be full of drink" , "A large glass" .)
