Parched, stopped by pub: The Globe (6)
I believe the answer is:
sphere
'globe' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'parched stopped by pub' is the wordplay.
'parched' becomes 'sere' (I've seen this in another clue).
'stopped by' means one lot of letters goes inside another (stopping can mean blocking a gap).
'pub' becomes 'ph' (abbreviation for Public House).
'sere' enclosing 'ph' is 'SPHERE'.
'the' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for sphere that I've seen before include "Vault of heaven" , "Shape of the Earth" , "Perfect round" , "Globe or domain" , "All-rounder" .)
