Imaginary line around which the planet rotates (4)

I believe the answer is:

axis

(Other definitions for axis that I've seen before include "line to be turned round" , "Line of symmetry" , "Imaginary line around which a body rotates" , "World War two Italy-Germany alliance" , "Spotted deer" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
