I believe the answer is:

(Other definitions for axis that I've seen before include "line to be turned round" , "all revolves around this" , "Centre around which something rotates" , "Line around which rotation occurs" , "Spindle - German/Italian alliance - deer" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
