Calls round then elopes (10)
I believe the answer is:
telephones
'calls' is the definition.
('telephone' can be a synonym of 'call')
'round then elopes' is the wordplay.
'round' indicates an anagram.
'then'+'elopes'='thenelopes'
'thenelopes' is an anagram of 'TELEPHONES'.
(Another definition for telephones that I've seen is " Calls".)
