Top journo introducing conclusions of odd survey that shows current circulation (4)
I believe the answer is:
eddy
'current circulation' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both related to natural events as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe you can see an association between them that I don't see?
'top journo introducing conclusions of odd survey' is the wordplay.
'top journo' becomes 'ed' (editor, leading journalist).
'introducing' says to put letters next to each other (some letters go before others).
'conclusions of' suggests the final letters.
The final letters of 'odd survey' are 'dy'.
'ed'+'dy'='EDDY'
'that shows' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for eddy that I've seen before include "Founder of Christian Science, d. 1910" , "Whirl (in fluid)" , "making the rounds?" , "Swirl; small whirlpool" , "Small circular movement of water" .)
