Canter around the corner in mid position (7)
I believe the answer is:
central
'corner in mid position' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'canter around' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
an anagram of 'canter' is 'centra' which is within the answer.
A single letter 'l' remains which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This may be the basis of clue (or it may be nonsense).
'the' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for central that I've seen before include "Middle; crucial" , "Near the middle" , "Most important, principal" , "Extremely important" , "Every answer here has one such letter" .)
