Be chopping logs, going round in circles (6)
I believe the answer is:
globes
'circles' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both man-made objects as well as being plural nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'be chopping logs going round in' is the wordplay.
'chopping' means one lot of letters goes inside another (inserted letters chop into others).
'going round in' is an anagram indicator.
'logs' anagrammed gives 'glos'.
'be' put within 'glos' is 'GLOBES'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for globes that I've seen before include "Ball-shaped objects with maps of the world" , "aids to geographical understanding" , "London theatre's" , "Orbs" , "Spheres" .)
