Gold pieces required for far-flung circular tours (6)
I believe the answer is:
orbits
'far-flung circular tours' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both to do with motion as well as being verbs in their -s form.
Maybe there's an association between them I don't understand?
'gold pieces required' is the wordplay.
'gold' becomes 'or' ('or' is the heraldic name for gold).
'pieces' becomes 'bits' ('bit' can be a synonym of 'piece').
'required' says to put letters next to each other.
'or'+'bits'='ORBITS'
'for' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for orbits that I've seen before include "Bistro (anag)" , "Circulates" , "Elliptical courses of celestial objects" , "Paths of satellites around planets" , "Curved paths of celestial objects" .)
