Get a bit worried on going round (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

obtain

'get' is the definition.
('obtain' can be a synonym of 'get')

'a bit worried on going round' is the wordplay.
'worried' indicates anagramming the letters.
'going round' indicates putting letters inside.
'a'+'bit'='abit'
'abit' with letters rearranged gives 'btai'.
'btai' going inside 'on' is 'OBTAIN'.

(Other definitions for obtain that I've seen before include "Get, procure" , "Acquire or procure" , "Take possession of" , "Gain possession of" , "Get or lay hold of" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
