wing

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

'the house' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.

'swinging round part' is the wordplay.
'part' says the answer is hidden in the clue.
'WING' is hidden within 'swinging round'.

'of' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?
