See land as focus of attention (9)
I believe the answer is:
spotlight
'focus of attention' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'see land' is the wordplay.
'see' becomes 'spot' (to spot is to notice or catch sight of).
'land' becomes 'light' (lighting is a kind of landing).
'spot'+'light'='SPOTLIGHT'
'as' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for spotlight that I've seen before include "Illuminate" , "exposure" , "Give prominence to" , "Direct attention to" , "put in the public eye" .)
