Giving it another whirl and going back home (9)
I believe the answer is:
returning
'giving' is the definition.
(returning is a kind of giving)
'it another whirl and going back home' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'it' could be 't' (abbreviation. e.g. in 'tis) and 't' is found within the answer.
'another' could be 're' (I've seen this in other clues) and 're' is present in the answer.
'and' could be 'n' (common abbreviation for 'and') and 'n' is found within the answer.
'home' could be 'in' ('he's home' can mean 'he's in') and 'in' is present in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for returning that I've seen before include "Coming back" , "Going or taking back" , "Yielding" , "On the way back" .)
