Possibly bent around a little, to fit centrally (7)

I believe the answer is:

between

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

'to fit centrally' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'possibly bent around a little' is the wordplay.
'possibly' is an anagram indicator.
'around' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'a little' becomes 'wee' (I've seen this in another clue).
'bent' is an anagram of 'betn'.
'betn' going around 'wee' is 'BETWEEN'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for between that I've seen before include "Betwixt" , "Flanked" , "In the interval" , "Separating (two things)" , "In the space dividing" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
