Sent a quote right around the earth (7)
I believe the answer is:
equator
'the earth' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both locations as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps you can see an association between them that I don't see?
'sent a quote right' is the wordplay.
'sent' indicates an anagram (send can mean to excite or stimulate).
'right' becomes 'r' (common abbreviation).
'a'+'quote'='aquote'
'aquote' is an anagram of 'equato'.
'equato'+'r'='EQUATOR'
'around' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for equator that I've seen before include "The great circle" , "Line through Brazil, Kenya, Sumatra" , "Imaginary line around middle of the earth" , "Important line" , "Imaginary ring around the earth's centre" .)
