English retired vicar coming round to swing (4)
I believe the answer is:
veer
'to swing' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'english retired vicar coming round' is the wordplay.
'english' becomes 'E' (abbreviation).
'retired' is a reversal indicator.
'vicar' becomes 'rev' (short for reverend).
'coming round' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'rev' reversed gives 'ver'.
'e' going inside 'ver' is 'VEER'.
(Other definitions for veer that I've seen before include "Change direction sharply" , "Swerve" , "Swing around" , "Turn sharply" , "Suddenly change direction" .)
