Over from a spinner (4)

I believe the answer is:

atop

'over' is the definition.

'a spinner' is the wordplay.
'spinner' becomes 'top' (something that spins).
'a'+'top'='ATOP'

'from' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for atop that I've seen before include "Cooker heating element" , "in dominant position" , "on the head" , "Situated on" , "At the summit of" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times and The Hindu.
