'processor' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'arrive right outside place' is the wordplay.
'arrive' becomes 'come' (synonyms).
'right' becomes 'r' (common abbreviation).
'outside' indicates putting letters inside.
'place' becomes 'put' (synonyms).
'come'+'r'='comer'
'comer' enclosing 'put' is 'COMPUTER'.

'to' acts as a link.
