Come round the island to the north (5)

I believe the answer is:

waken

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

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

'island to the north' is the wordplay.
'island' becomes 'wake' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'to the north' becomes 'N' (abbreviation).
'wake'+'n'='WAKEN'

'the' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for waken that I've seen before include "Arouse from sleep" , "Stir yourself" , "Rouse from sleep" , "Come round" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
