Midday, and horse is in shape (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

nonagon

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

'shape' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'midday and horse is in' is the wordplay.
'midday' becomes 'noo' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'and' becomes 'n' (common abbreviation for 'and').
'horse' becomes 'nag' (nag is a kind of horse).
'is in' is an insertion indicator.
'noo'+'n'='noon'
'noon' placed around 'nag' is 'NONAGON'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for nonagon that I've seen before include "Figure with nine, twenty-one Dn" , "Nine sided figure" , "regular figure" , "Nine-sided shape" , "Nine-sided polygon" .)
