Resting on a spinner (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

atop

'resting on' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'a spinner' is the wordplay.
'spinner' becomes 'top' (a spinning top).
'a'+'top'='ATOP'

(Other definitions for atop that I've seen before include "Positioned on" , "On a high" , "on the head" , "Surmounting" , "highest level" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
