Go around effecting a reversal of opinion, etc. (9)
I believe the answer is:
turnabout
'effecting a reversal of opinion etc' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.
'go around' is the wordplay.
'go' becomes 'turn' (turning is a kind of going).
'around' becomes 'about' (synonyms).
'turn'+'about'='TURNABOUT'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for turnabout that I've seen before include "complete change of policy" , "That makes a change" , "change of heart" , "Total change of policy" .)
