I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

This clue could be a double definition.

'jets circling seventh' is the first definition.
Although both the answer and definition are verbs in their -s form, I can't see how one could define the other.

'offshore wind generators?' is the second definition.
Although both the answer and definition are plural nouns, I cannot understand how they can define each other.

'of' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for sprouts that I've seen before include "Small cabbage-like veg." , "Green vegetable" , "Grows vegetables" , "[TRIMMING]" , "Green vegetables" .)
