'item of spin?' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps you can see an association between them that I don't see?

'unfortunately owe bbc' is the wordplay.
'unfortunately' is an anagram indicator (a bad or unfortunate spelling).
'owe'+'bbc'='owebbc'
'owebbc' is an anagram of 'COBWEB'.

'for' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for cobweb that I've seen before include "fairy, in part" , "Spider's creation" , "One appearing in A Midsummer Night's Dream" , "Dust-covered network" , "Creation of Shakespeare" .)
