indigo

'blue' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'the one doing somersaults' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'one' could be 'i' (Roman numeral) and 'i' is found in the answer.
an anagram of 'doing' is 'ndigo' which is present in the answer.
This accounts for all the letters.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'in' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?
