It beams down from way up, to call attention to (9)
I believe the answer is:
highlight
'call attention to' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'it beams down from way up' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'it' could be 't' (abbreviation. e.g. in 'tis) and 't' is present in the answer.
'way' could be 'l' (abbreviation for left) and 'l' is present in the answer.
'up' could be 'high' (associated in meaning) and 'high' is located in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
'to' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for highlight that I've seen before include "Best part (of hair or text?)" , "Most memorable part of event" , "Best item of event" , "Main feature" , "Outstanding feature" .)
