boustrophedon

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'and fro repeatedly' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'bounders to hop around' is the wordplay.
'around' indicates an anagram.
'bounders'+'to'+'hop'='bounderstohop'
'bounderstohop' with letters rearranged gives 'BOUSTROPHEDON'.

'going to' acts as a link.
