Stop terror around the globe (7)
I believe the answer is:
forbear
'stop' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both to do with fundamental existence as well as being verbs in their base form.
Perhaps there's a link between them I don't understand?
'terror around the globe' is the wordplay.
'terror' becomes 'fear' (I've seen this before).
'around' indicates putting letters inside.
'the globe' becomes 'orb' ('orb' can be a synonym of 'globe').
'fear' placed around 'orb' is 'FORBEAR'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for forbear that I've seen before include "Abstain" , "Be patient" , "Hold back" , "Refrain from doing something" .)
