Globe in orbit (7)
I believe the answer is:
eyeball
'orbit' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both body parts as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe there's an association between them I don't understand?
'globe' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'globe' could be 'ball' (synonyms) and 'ball' is located in the answer.
The remaining letters 'eye' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
'in' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for eyeball that I've seen before include "Stare at closely (colloq.)" , "Optic organ" , "" - to - " = in close confrontation" , "something in orbit" , "Confront (_____ to _____)" .)
