drop in

'gravitate' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are verbs in their base form, I cannot understand how they can define each other.

'where a little drink is kept?' is the wordplay.
'where' becomes 'op' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'a little' means to remove the last letter (the word is not quite complete).
'is kept?' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'drink' with its final letter taken off is 'drin'.
'op' inserted within 'drin' is 'DROP IN'.

'to' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for drop in that I've seen before include "home visit" , "Arrive for casual visit" , "Pay a casual visit - by parachute" , "Come by, call on" , "Make a casual visit" .)
