Hesitation after putting gold piece in spaceship (7)
I believe the answer is:
orbiter
'spaceship' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't judge whether it can be defined by this definition.
'hesitation after putting gold piece in' is the wordplay.
'hesitation' becomes 'er' (sound made while hesitating - um, er).
'after putting' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'gold' becomes 'or' ('or' is the heraldic name for gold).
'piece' becomes 'bit' (synonyms).
'in' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'er' put after 'or' is 'orer'.
'orer' placed around 'bit' is 'ORBITER'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for orbiter that I've seen before include "Satellite perhaps" , "Craft going round planet" , "Space vehicle" , "Non-landing spacecraft" , "One goes round" .)
