Object of gazing a little upon a velarium (5)
I believe the answer is:
navel
'object of gazing' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.
'a little upon a velarium' is the wordplay.
'a little' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'NAVEL' is hidden in the letters of 'upon a velarium'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for navel that I've seen before include "Target of gaze" , "Central point" , "Belly button" , "Bellybutton" , "Something to contemplate" .)
